Doctors have delivered the first baby in North America to be conceived after a womb transplant from a dead donor.
The girl was born by Caesarean section at the Cleveland Clinic in Ohio as part of clinical trials for womb transplants to treat uterine factor infertility.
One in 500 women of child-bearing age are affected by the irreversible condition, the clinic says.
Dr Uma Perni said mother and baby were “doing great”, and added: “We couldn’t have asked for a better out-come.”
Uterine transplants, usually from living donors like a friend or relative, have let more than a dozen women give birth.
The world’s first birth with a dead donor’s womb was in Brazil last year.
