About

Dr. Jana Ekberg is a pioneering surgeon and researcher in the field of reproductive medicine, with a primary focus on uterus transplantation as a treatment for absolute uterine factor infertility. Her major contributions center on advancing minimally invasive surgical techniques, particularly robotic-assisted live donor procedures, to improve outcomes for both donors and recipients. Dr. Ekberg was instrumental in the Swedish live donor robotic uterus transplantation trial (2017–2019), which demonstrated the feasibility and safety of robotic surgery in this complex procedure. Her landmark 2020 paper, "Live birth after robotic‐assisted live donor uterus transplantation," reported the first live birth following a robotic-assisted transplant, accumulating 64 citations and marking a significant milestone in reproductive surgery. Another highly cited work, "Outcome of Recipient Surgery and 6-Month Follow-Up of the Swedish Live Donor Robotic Uterus Transplantation Trial" (56 citations), detailed recipient outcomes, including successful graft function in women with congenital uterine aplasia. Dr. Ekberg’s work has not only expanded surgical possibilities but also offered new hope to patients with uterine factor infertility, establishing her as a leader in this transformative field.
