About
Rebecca Deans is a pioneering researcher in reproductive medicine, best known for her transformative work in uterus transplantation (UTx). Her research focuses on advancing surgical techniques and clinical outcomes for women with absolute uterine factor infertility, particularly those with Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser (MRKH) syndrome. As a key contributor to the International Society of Uterus Transplantation (ISUTx), Deans co-authored the landmark "Second report of registry of the International Society of Uterus Transplantation," which documented 91 UTx cases worldwide from 2000 to 2024. This comprehensive analysis revealed that 67 procedures involved live donors and 80 recipients had MRKH syndrome, with a 12-month graft survival rate that underscores the procedure's growing viability. Her work has been instrumental in establishing global standards for UTx, offering new hope to patients with infertility. With her research cited in foundational studies shaping this emerging field, Deans continues to drive innovation in reproductive surgery, making her a leading voice in the quest to expand fertility options through transplantation.
