Hi,
Thanks for posting your query.
Urine infection after any procedure in urinary tract is not uncommon.
There are additional factors that may play a role in a Urine infection after surgery:
>the age of the patient (older patients are more likely to have this complication),
>type of surgical procedure and other conditions like some pre-existing illness
> Diabetes increases the risks of a UTI
>Surgeries that are done on or near part of the urinary tract, such as a prostate surgery.
Do not worry, please visit your doctor again and share this report. In routine, a culture report of urine is advised, which gives us idea about the type of organism responsible for it and medicines that is effective against it.
Most of the patients respond well and problem is sorted out with a course of antibiotics.
There are chances that he may need to take antibiotics for long about 2-3 weeks depending upon the response.
I hope this helps.
Write again if you have some more concerns.

Wishing him speedy recovery.
