Résumé
We aimed to present patients with the Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser syndrome (MRKH) coming from one center and presenting all the possibilities of its treatment, at the forefront with the uterine transplantation. The presented work is an example of different types of MRKH syndrome diagnosed in 25 women who were diagnosed in the Department of Gynecological Endocrinology due to the primary amenorrhea from 01/2001 to 06/2018. Patients suffering from MRKH syndrome are capable of having genetic offspring but are unable to give birth to their own child, due to an absence of the uterus, blindly terminated vagina, and normal ovaries. Patients suffering from this syndrome have the opportunity to receive treatment in accordance with their current needs. However, there are many medical, technical, and ethical limitations in achieving the most important therapeutic target: uterine transplantation and childbirth. Until a few years ago, patients with an absolute uterine factor of infertility, including women with MRKH syndrome, had a real choice of only two equally controversial options giving a chance for motherhood - surrogacy and adoption. However, modern transplantation has shown that a third option - a uterine transplant - exists and is available.
