Abstract
Ovarian tissue cryopreservation (OTC) is an accepted method of fertility preservation. However, OTC is not standardized and many variations exist in the freezing strategy, tissue processing, and surgical approach. In this pilot study, we used a sheep model to compare slow freezing versus vitrification techniques, as well as the feasibility of processing ovarian tissue into a hyaluronan suspension of small ovarian units. Twelve ovaries were harvested from six female ewes. Paired tissues from each animal were assigned to different treatments and underwent freezing, thawing, autotransplantation, and second-look surgery, for a total of 18 surgical procedures and 3 measured time points. Treatments included whole tissue strips versus gel suspension and slow freezing versus vitrification. At each of the time points, tissue viability was measured by immunohistochemical analysis of CD31 and cleaved caspase-3 (CCASP3). CD31 and CCASP3 expression levels were equivalent between slow freezing and vitrification, and between whole ovarian tissue strips and gel suspension of fragmented ovarian tissue, at all time points. These preliminary data using a sheep model suggest that ovarian tissue is robust and likely to be minimally affected by aggressive fragmentation using a hyaluronan suspension. Furthermore, we provide evidence in support of vitrification as a viable option in OTC. Hyaluronan suspension of ovarian cortical fragments is novel and may represent a desirable method for reimplantation of frozen-thawed ovarian tissue in patients where occult malignant cells are a concern.

Abstract
Endometriosis is a female disease which is defined as the presence of ectopic endometrial tissue and is dependent on estrogen for its survival in these ectopic locations. Expression of the ribosomal protein large P1 (RPLP1) is associated with cell proliferation and invasion in several pathologies, but a role in the pathophysiology of endometriosis has not been explored. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the expression and function of RPLP1 with respect to endometriosis pathophysiology. RPLP1 protein was localised by immunohistochemistry (IHC) in eutopic and ectopic tissue from 28 subjects with confirmed endometriosis and from 20 women without signs or symptoms of the disease, while transcript levels were evaluated by qRT-PCR in 77 endometriotic lesions and 55 matched eutopic endometrial biopsies, and protein expression was evaluated using western blotting in 20 of these matched samples. To evaluate the mechanism for enhanced lesion expression of RPLP1, an experimental murine model of endometriosis was used and RPLP1 expression was localized using IHC. In vitro studies using an endometriosis cell line coupled with shRNA knockdown was used to demonstrate its role in cell survival. Expression of RPLP1 mRNA and protein were significantly higher in ectopic lesion tissue compared to paired eutopic endometrium and immunohistochemical localisation revealed predominant localisation to epithelial cells. This pattern of lesion RPLP1 was recapitulated in mice with experimentally induced endometriosis. Stable knockdown of RPLP1 protein resulted in a significant decrease in cell survival in vitro. These studies reveal that RPLP1 is associated with cell proliferation and/or survival and may play a role in the pathophysiology of endometriosis.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to perform an updated analysis of the literature in regard to the surgical management of minimal to mild endometriosis. This study evaluated women of reproductive age with superficial endometriosis to determine if the results of surgical excision compared with those of ablation in improved pain scores postoperatively. DATA SOURCES The following databases were searched from inception to May 2020 for relevant studies: Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, PubMed (MEDLINE), Ovid (MEDLINE), Scopus, and Web of Science. METHODS OF STUDY SELECTION From our literature search, a total of 2633 articles were identified and screened. Ultimately, 4 randomized controlled trials were selected and included in our systematic review. The combined total number of subjects was 346 from these 4 studies, with sample sizes ranging from 24 to 170 participants. Data from 3 of the included studies were able to be compared and analyzed for a meta-analysis. The primary outcome was reduction in the visual analog scale (VAS) score for endometriosis-associated pain (dysmenorrhea, dyschezia, and dyspareunia), with follow-up time ranging from 6 to 60 months postoperatively. TABULATION, INTEGRATION, AND RESULTS Data extracted from each study included the mean reduction in the VAS score from baseline. A random-effects model was used owing to significant heterogeneity across the studies. Statistical analyses were performed using Review Manager 5.3 software (Cochrane Collaboration, London, United Kingdom). The meta-analyses showed no significant differences between the excision and ablation groups in the mean reduction in VAS scores from baseline to 12 months postoperatively for dysmenorrhea (mean difference [MD] -0.03; 95% confidence interval [CI], -1.27 to 1.22; p = .97), dyschezia (MD 0.46; 95% CI, -1.09 to 2.02; p = .56), and dyspareunia (MD 0.10; 95% CI, -2.36 to 2.56; p = .94). In addition, there were no significant differences between the excision and ablation groups in mean VAS scores at the 12-month follow-up and beyond for dysmenorrhea (MD -0.11; 95% CI, -2.14 to 1.93; p = .92), dyschezia (MD 0.01; 95% CI, -0.70 to 0.72; p = .99), and dyspareunia (MD 0.34; 95% CI, -1.61 to 2.30; p = .73). CONCLUSION On the basis of the data from our systematic review and pooled meta-analysis, no significant difference between laparoscopic excision and ablation was noted in regard to improving pain from minimal to mild endometriosis. However, to make definitive conclusions on this topic, larger randomized controlled trials are needed with longer follow-up.

Abstract
Uterus transplantation is a nascent but growing field. To support this growth, the United States Uterus Transplant Consortium proposes guidelines for nomenclature related to operative technique, vascular anatomy, and donor, recipient, and offspring outcomes. In terms of anatomy, the group recommends reporting donor arterial inflow and recipient anastomotic site delivering inflow to the graft and offers standardization of the names for the 4 veins originating from the uterus because of current inconsistency in this particular nomenclature. Seven progressive stages with milestones of success are defined for reporting on uterus transplantation outcomes: (1) technical, (2) menstruation, (3) embryo implantation, (4) pregnancy, (5) delivery, (6) graft removal, and (7) long-term follow-up. The 3 primary metrics for success are recipient survival (as reported for other organ transplant recipients), graft survival, and uterus transplant live birth rate (defined as live birth per transplanted recipient). A number of secondary outcomes should also be reported, most of which capture stage-specific milestones, as well as data on graft failure. Outcome metrics for living donors include patient survival, survival free of operative intervention, and data on complications and hospitalizations. Finally, we make specific recommendations on follow-up for offspring born from uterine grafts, which includes specialty surveillance as well as collection and reporting of routine pediatric outcomes. The goal of standardization in reporting is to create consistency and improve the quality of evidence available on the efficacy and value of the procedure.

Abstract
Uterus transplantation is the only known potential treatment for absolute uterine factor infertility. It offers a unique setting for the investigation of immunologic adaptations of pregnancy in the context of the pharmacologic-induced tolerance of solid organ transplants, thus providing valuable insights into the early maternal-fetal interface. Until recently, all live births resulting from uterus transplantation involved living donors, with only 1 prior birth from a deceased donor. The Cleveland Clinic clinical trial of uterus transplantation opened in 2015. In 2017, a 35 year old woman with congenital absence of the uterus was matched to a 24 year old parous deceased brain-dead donor. Transplantation of the uterus was performed with vaginal anastomosis and vascular anastomoses bilaterally from internal iliac vessels of the donor to the external iliac vessels of the recipient. Induction and maintenance immunosuppression were achieved and subsequently modified in anticipation of pregnancy 6 months after transplant. Prior to planned embryo transfer, ectocervical biopsy revealed ulceration and a significant diffuse, plasma cell-rich mixed inflammatory cell infiltrate, with histology interpreted as grade 3 rejection suspicious for an antibody-mediated component. Aggressive immunosuppressive regimen targeting both cellular and humoral rejection was initiated. After 3 months of treatment, there was no histologic evidence of rejection, and after 3 months from complete clearance of rejection, an uneventful embryo transfer was performed and a pregnancy was established. At 21 weeks, central placenta previa with accreta was diagnosed. A healthy neonate was delivered by cesarean hysterectomy at 34 weeks' gestation. In summary, this paper highlights the first live birth in North America resulting from a deceased donor uterus transplant. This achievement underscores the capacity of the transplanted uterus to recover from a severe, prolonged rejection and yet produce a viable neonate. This is the first delivery from our ongoing clinical trial in uterus transplantation, including the first reported incidence of severe mixed cellular/humoral rejection as well as the first reported placenta accreta.

Abstract
While uterus transplantation was once considered only a theoretical possibility for patients with uterine factor infertility, researchers have now developed methods of transplantation that have led to successful pregnancies with multiple children born to date. Because of the unique and significant nature of this type of research, it has been undertaken with collaboration not only with scientists and physicians but also with bioethicists, who paved the initial path for research of uterus transplantation to take place. As the science of uterus transplantation continues to advance, so too must the public dialogue among obstetrician/gynecologists, transplant surgeons, bioethicists, and other key stakeholders in defining the continued direction of research in addition to planning for the clinical implementation of uterus transplantation as a therapeutic option. Given the rapid advances in this field, the time has come to revisit the fundamental questions raised at the inception of uterus transplantation and, looking forward, determine the future of this approach given emerging data on the procedure's impact on individuals, families, and society.

Abstract
Although women are inextricably involved in the study of germline editing, their interests have not been significantly represented in debates about the evolution of genome editing technology. Discussions have taken place about effects of germline editing on women as parents and members of families, but key discussions about women's health and well-being as patients and subjects are lacking. This neglect is due in part to restrictions on uterine transfer of modified human embryos, a boundary that has now been crossed. As a result, only scant discussion has taken place about safeguards needed to ensure that women who participate in germline modification research are not exposed to disproportionate risk in exchange for benefits they might expect for future offspring. This omission sets the stage for serious ethical implications for women and their families.

Abstract
Uterine transplantation (UT) is a novel treatment for absolute uterine factor infertility (AUFI) that is currently being performed under experimental protocols in multiple medical centers worldwide. At the time of this publication, there have been at least 10 live births by women with a transplanted uterus. As successful outcomes from this innovative procedure increase, it is likely that more centers will perform UT. Imaging is performed in multiple steps of the UT process, including preoperative imaging of potential donors and recipients, posttransplant surveillance, and monitoring of pregnancy. Fetal imaging is performed by maternal-fetal medicine professionals, but most imaging examinations in UT are performed by radiologists. Given the significant role of imaging in this groundbreaking surgery, radiologists must be familiar with the causes of AUFI and the role of imaging in establishing this diagnosis. Radiologists working in medical centers where UT is performed should understand the role of imaging in preoperative planning and postoperative surveillance. While data regarding complications of UT are preliminary at best, radiologists must be aware of the risk of vascular compromise and graft failure and their imaging features. The authors provide a brief history of UT and define the radiologist's role in pre- and postoperative imaging assessments.©RSNA, 2019.
