Bulgarian anesthesiologist Dr. Petar Dimitrov was part of the team that performed the first-ever womb transplant in the UK, BNR Plovdiv has reported. The 34-year-old patient was born with the rare Mayer-Rokitansky-Kuster-Hauser (MRKH) syndrome, which is characterized by an underdeveloped or absent uterus. Her donor is her 40-year-old sister, who has a family with two children.
Dr. Dimitrov is from Zlatograd, he graduated in medicine from the Medical University in Plovdiv and since 2003 has been living and working in Great Britain. Today, he is a consultant at the prestigious "Churchill" hospital in Oxford, England. 90 such operations have been performed in the world so far and 49 children have been born after such an intervention, Dimitrov points out.
