About
Tan Hak Koon is a pioneering figure in the field of uterus transplantation (UTx), a groundbreaking area of reproductive medicine. His key research focuses on advancing surgical techniques, donor-recipient outcomes, and global registry data for UTx, particularly for women with Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser (MRKH) syndrome. As a leading contributor to the International Society of Uterus Transplantation (ISUTx), Tan co-authored the seminal "Second report of registry of the International Society of Uterus Transplantation (ISUTx): international activities 2000–2024," which documents 91 UTx cases worldwide—67 from live donors and 80 recipients with MRKH syndrome. This work, already garnering 3 citations in 2026, provides critical insights into graft survival, pregnancy outcomes, and ethical considerations, shaping global clinical standards. Tan’s contributions have been instrumental in establishing UTx as a viable fertility option, with his registry data informing best practices for immunosuppression and surgical protocols. His research not only highlights the procedure’s 12-month graft success rates but also underscores its transformative impact on patients with uterine factor infertility. Through his leadership in ISUTx, Tan continues to drive international collaboration, making him a key architect in the evolution of uterus transplantation from experimental to mainstream therapy.
