At uterus transplantation into the recipient, surgical fixation of the uterus is important and performed after anastomoses of the vasculature and the vagina which has been done in order to minimize warm ischemia and secure optimal location of the uterus with its vessels. At the stage of fixation, the uterine graft is reperfused. The fixation of the uterus is recommended onto several ligamentous structures in order to prevent prolapse of the organ in the pregnant and non-pregnant state.
