Abstract Aim To review the medical charts of women who applied for the uterine transplant project from J une 2008 to J une 2011 in our hospital retrospectively (18–40 years). Methods The data for 144 women were retrieved, and information was collected on the etiology of uterine factor infertility( UFI ); ovarian reserve tests; and accompanying anatomic, infectious, genetic and endocrinological problems. Results There were 119 patients with primary amenorrhea and uterovaginal agenesis and 25 patients with a history of hysterectomy. The complete M üllerian agenesis patients formed the largest group of the UFI patients with better anti‐Müllerian hormone levels and antral follicle count. Anatomical anomalies such as a solitary pelvic kidney may accompany M ayer– R okitansky– K uster– H auser syndrome ( MRKH ) and impede surgery. The mean ages in MRKH , hysterectomy and complete androgen insensitivity syndrome ( CAIS ) cases were 24.7, 35.0 and 34.4 years, respectively. The karyotype analysis showed 46 XX ( MRKH ) in 109 patients and 46 XY ( CAIS ) in 10 of the primary amenorrhea patients. Conclusion Hysterectomy may deteriorate ovarian blood flow and decrease ovarian reserve. Fertility preservation may be considered in young woman undergoing hysterectomy.
