PRESS RELEASE


Edwin Ramirez, MD, is a world renowned pioneer of Uterine Transplant Research with a special interest in fertility preservation and minimally invasive surgery. He is also a second generation Obstetrician and Gynecologist who has pioneered a new breakthrough procedure which in the future will aid patients with Reproductive problems. After 11 years of research, Dr. Ramirez's surgical team have demonstrated that a pregnancy can be carried for the first time in history in a transplanted uterus under the influence of immunosuppressive therapy in the sheep model. His groundbreaking news has been published in the Journal of Minimally Invasive Gynecology which is an international journal with a reputation of accepting "cutting-edge medicine" from the brightest minds in gynecologic surgery. Dr. Ramirez has been invited as a guest speaker to several national and international meetings to share his and his fathers theory to the medical community. The concept of uterine transplantation has been reserved as a central intervention for patients who were either born without a uterus [Rokitansky sydrome] or had their uterus removed at an early reproductive age. Adoption and surrogacy has been provided as another alternate to help these individuals experience motherhood however these services may not be suitable for a given population due to cultural/religious beliefs or demographic location.

The Ramirez project initially started as a family project and now expanding as a multi-center study where they soon hope to demonstrate that a uterine transplant can successfully be performed in the non-human primate. Involved in this project is his father Dr. Hugo Ramirez (Pioneer), sister Dr. Doris Ramirez Nessetti, bother-in-law Dr. Matthew Nessetti and Dr. Masood Khatamee. The American Congress of Obstetricians and Gynecologists has invited Dr. Ramirez to present his work at the 59th Annual Clinical Meeting in Washington, DC. Currently, Dr. Edwin Ramirez is practicing as an obstetrician and gynecologist in Oxnard, California.
