Core Tip	Lymphocele is a frequent complication after kidney transplantation, but its risk factors remain poorly studied in North African populations. This retrospective study of Tunisian kidney transplant recipients identified prolonged warm ischemia time and older donor age as independent predictors of lymphocele formation. The findings emphasize the importance of targeted preventive strategies in this specific regional context to improve graft outcomes and patient care.
