I find it interesting that the Baylor team chose a shorter timeframe from surgery to implantation with success. According to the article, the initial thought was that a longer wait time gave a chance for the women to heal, but the Baylor team thought the immune-system-suppressants (used to ensure the body does not reject a foreign organ) too harmful to continue for long periods.

Do we know if they removed the uterus during the same surgery as the c-section, or was it done later?
