A successful result following uterus transplantation is naturally evidenced by a resulting live birth. Whilst the critical factors when screening the donor have been shown to be uterine graft quality and adequate vasculature, there are several essential factors associated with the recipient that are associated with the chances of success. This chapter reviews the current knowledge around which medical factors must be taken into account when screening for inclusion and exclusion of potential recipients. Lifestyle factors, anatomical variations, ovarian function and laboratory and imaging studies will be covered in this chapter.
