我國首例人子宮移植手術獲得成功

Chinese doctors recently achieved the country's first successful uterus transplant to help a woman born without a uterus to realize her dream of giving birth.

近日，中國首例子宮移植手術在西安成功進行，幫助患者實現可以做母親的願望。

The operation was performed on Nov 20 by 38 experts from 11 medical departments in Xijing Hospital in Xi'an, the capital of Shaanxi province. The hospital said on Thursday that the patient and donor were recovering well.

11月20日，在陝西省省會西安的西京醫院，來自11個門診的38位專家一起進行了這項手術。醫院方面表示，患者和捐獻者身體都恢復良好。

Yang Hua (not her real name), 22, a resident of Ankang, Shaanxi, was diagnosed at the hospital in 2013 as having been born without a uterus or vagina.

楊華（化名），22歲，來自陝西省安康市，2013年被診斷爲先天性無子宮無陰道。

"I felt so desperate after the incredible diagnosis, but I saw a glimmer of hope when doctors told me that I could still have my own baby by receiving a transplanted uterus," the woman said.

“當看到這個診斷結果時，我失望極了，但當醫生說我可以接受子宮移植來實現孕育孩子的願望，我看到了一絲希望。”楊華說道。

Yang's 43-year-old mother, after learning from doctors that she could help her daughter, decided to donate her uterus. "In order to let my daughter have a perfect life, I am willing to even donate my life," the mother said.

楊華的母親，43歲，聽到醫生的建議，毅然決定將自己的子宮移植給女兒。“爲了讓女兒有個完整的人生，我願意將子宮捐獻給女兒。”楊華母親說道。

Fortunately, the human leukocyte antigen of mother and daughter matched, which was necessary for a transplant. While waiting for the transplant, Yang got married, and her husband fully supported her having the operation.

幸運的是，楊華和母親的白細胞抗原體吻合，這是實現移植的必要條件。在等待移植時，楊華已經結婚了，她丈夫全力支持她進行這個手術。

Uterus transplantation is highly difficult because the uterus is located deep in the pelvis and its fine blood vessels are very difficult to cut and suture during an operation, said Chen Biliang, the hospital's director of obstetrics and gynecology. Additionally, rejection of a transplanted uterus is more intense than for other organs, Chen said.

醫院婦產科學的主任醫師陳碧亮說道，因爲子宮深藏在盆骨下方，周邊的血管很難切除和縫合，子宮移植手術是非常有挑戰性的。另外，子宮的排異反應會比其他身體器官要強烈。

This was the first successful transplant for China and the 12th in the world, Chen said. The operation lasted for 14 hours, and doctors had robotic assistance.

這是國內首例成功移植子宮的手術，世界上第12例，這項手術持續14個小時，醫生有機器人助理協助。
