Abstract Transplantation of an adrenal tissue culture from newborn pigs was performed in patients with habitual abortions. The advantages of this method as compared to the traditional treatment with adrenocortical hormones consist in the absence of effects on the fetus and of side effects in pregnant women. Monitoring of the serum level of adrenocortical hormones is not required. Healthy children were born to 22 patients out of 23. Three clinical cases are described.
