"More than 10 surgeons took part in the operations, which were conducted without any complications. The women who received the uteruses are doing well but are tired after the surgery," said Mats Braennstroem, a professor of obstetrics and gynecology at the university and the leader of the research team.
"The mothers who donated their uteruses are already up and walking and are going to be able to go home within a few days," he added.
In a short film clip released with the statement, Braennstroem explained that the young women would have to wait one year before undergoing in vitro fertilization (IVF) with their own frozen embryos.
The names of the patients were not revealed.
Details of the procedure were to be disclosed at a press conference later Tuesday.
