If the operation can be perfected for humans, it could help thousands of women with Rokitansky syndrome, a rare congenital condition that affects one in 5,000 women in which the uterus develops abnormally but the ovaries still function.

Around 200 British women every year who attempt to have their own biological children using surrogate mothers would be given the chance to give birth naturally.

Correct me please if I am wrong.
But I heard that the Austrailian medical comunity a few years ago were quoted as saying that in several years it will be able to insert a womb into a transgender male and that she would be able to deliver a baby.

I believe that the first TS surgery back in the thirties included a transplant of ovaries and other things.  She didn't live long.

Christine Jorgensen was not the first after all.
