You need to ask the person who did the surgery but probably best to hold for at least 2 weeks before doing anything that might have an impact.

AfterAny surgery tissues take some time to heal. usually 4-6 weeks. Orgasm is not going to cause major problems but masturbation can cause increased pressure in the abdomen and the healing tissues. Suggest hold your hoses for about 4 weeks. Good luck
