Length of stay is multifactorial but first is than elective procedure? What is the indication for the resection and what is the extent of the resection? Was the procedure open or laparoscopic and what is the underlying health of the patient.
Patient, and intra-operative factors and surgeon experience make this a question for your surgeon. It could be as little as 3 days to 7 days or longer.

2-10 days, depends if there are any complications from Surgery.
It depends on the reason for resection, the medical history and risk for complications. Typically 3-5 days would be expected but this question is best addressed to a surgeon.
