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?

From the article we know that each uterus recipient can have up to two births before the uterus is removed. But specifically when it is removed after that possible second birth I'm not sure. Looked around a bit and couldn't find anything. I'm assuming that would make the most sense, but I'm not a surgeon.
