Without more information, it is impossible to give you a reliable estimate. There are too many variables, including, but not limited to, specific procedure done, location, indication for surgery, health status of the patient, co-morbid conditions, open vs closed vs assisted, occurrence of any complications, experience of surgeon, etc. I've seen "bowel" surgeries anywhere from 45 minutes to more than 6 hours, and possibly longer.
