General Surgeon,  's  Response
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

* The history of any dysuria before surgery is very vital in this case, which is missing.
* If the urinary complain was there before the surgery, multiple possible reasons can be there ; but if the urination difficulty appeared only after surgery that means it is definitely surgery related.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
