About this episode
The first uterine transposition, a minimally invasive surgery that temporarily relocates your uterus into your upper abdomen, was performed in Canada on a young woman in Montreal earlier this year. The surgery was designed to help young women battling specific types of cancer around the pelvic area preserve their fertility, which is typically lost during radiation therapy. We speak with Dr. Reitan Ribeiro, who pioneered this surgery in 2017 and performed the first surgery in Canada this year, and Denise Maradona, an early patient of Dr. Ribeiro's who received one of the first ever uterine transpositions in Brazil back in 2018.
