Normally, 3-6 days, it depends what happened and the extent of the Surgery.
If your procedure is done with a minimally invasive approach (laparoscopically or robotically), the average hospital stay is about 2-4 days. If it is done via an open approach (with a large incision), the average hospital stay is about double that (4-7 days). Your pathology (is this being done for cancer or infection, etc) may also determine your length of stay.
Depends on surgery and how is done. Around 4-6 days
