Brief Answer:
lactulose syrup to be given

Detailed Answer:
Hello.
Welcome to HCM.
This is Dr. Swarnava Dattagupta answering your query.

Post operative constipation or decreased bowel movement is very common. No need to worry for that.
In such cases, I generally suggest lactulose syrup 20ml before sleep for 2-3 days. If still not done, p.enema can be given. Also take lots of fluid per orally.

Hope this was useful.
Consult me for any further query.
Regards.
