A member asked:
Is liquid diarrhea normal following laproscopic surgery for small intestine blockage? how long does diarrhea last?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
A few days.: It is not unusual to have loose stools after this type of operation. If it lasts more than a few days you should contact your surgeon. Occasionally, this can be the symptom of an infectious diarrhea.
