Obstruction can occur due to recent surgery that involves the intestines. Due to the proximity of the uterus, tubes and ovaries to the intestines, it is most likely that they were a factor. Intestines don't like being touched, period. They go into a period of paralysis called ileus post op. Another cause could be adhesions forming between the intestines and the abdominal wall.

Both are risks of surgery and you will have consented to them on the preoperative consent form.
