Its not uncommon. There are varying degrees of anesthesia. For more serious and invasive procedures the patient is put under deeper. When under deep anesthesia the patient's intestines may cease peristalsis. Peristalsis is the slow, rhythmic radial contraction of the intestine, which moves the waste material along. On coming out of anesthesia the patient is usually under narcotics, and this can slow the body's resumption of peristalsis. In the US these days they like to hustle patients out of the hospital just as soon as possible after surgery, but the patient generally can not be discharged until after the patient has had a post-operative bowel movement.
