Brief Answer:
Abdominal ultrasound should be done.

Detailed Answer:
Hello.

Thank you for the query.

It would be good for her to have abdominal ultrasound done. After this kind of surgery liquid collection in the abdomen is a common complication.
If she has also some abdominal or back pain, fever, no doubt she should have abdominal ultrasound.

Hope this helps.
Regards.
