Brief Answer:
Needs Investigations
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for asking.
Bowel perforation during surgery can be a very serious condition leading to fistula, infection or sometimes grave consequences.
As you are experiencing symptoms of chronic pain in the abdomen it needs to be investigated for possible infection and extent of damage.
Please consult your doctor / Hospital to arrange for ultrasound abdomen, completed blood count and X XXXXXXX of the abdomen to reach a diagnosis.
Thanks.
Please let me know if you need more information.

Brief Answer:
Can wait for healing
Detailed Answer:
If you have already done endoscopy and colonoscopy and it does not show any major leak in the gut , you can wait for some time , as most of the punctures heal of its own .
But you have to look for the first sign of intestinal obstruction like vomiting, absolute constipation,and pain. If they happen then you need to go to the hospital as soon as possible, otherwise you can continue to wait for the natural healing to occur.
