Our results suggest that splenectomy has no major effect on the outcome following DMEK. Subsequent, ACAID may not be the main reason for the favorable immunological outcomes in DMEK, or the camero-splenic axis may be subordinate in humans. However, we only included 16 patients who underwent splenectomy, so it might be possible that we missed a minor effect.
