This can be congenital (Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser syndrome (MRKHS)) or acquired (after hysterectomy, severe congenital uterine malformations).

The dissertation summarizes current knowledge on this issue from the perspective of a gynecologist-obstetrician, who regularly examined by ultrasound or gynecologically participants in the Czech uterine transplant study in 2016-2019, which was carried out on the basis of a cooperation agreement between two Prague hospitals - IKEM and FN Motol.
