Hi, welcome to HCM.
Surgery for stomach perforation is high risk surgery especially in old age.
It can affect kidney function by multiple ways - low BP, blood loss, medications/pain killers/antibiotics.
As per your history, she has not passed urine since yesterday.
It is very critical to evaluate for kidney function if patient has not passed urine for more than 6 hours especially after major surgery.
Check her S. creatinine, BP and do sonography of abdomen.
Maintain adequate hydration. Get you surgeon's opinion.
Then consult nephrologist or you can communicate with me also with reports.
I think this would be helpful to you.
Best wishes. TC.
