Explanation:

Post - surgical infections occur after the surgical procedure has been carried out. "Before" and "during" the surgery, the infection has not yet had the chance to develop post - surgery. "The day of" is too specific and not the general time frame for reporting post - surgical infections. So the correct time to report post - surgical infections is after the surgery.

Answer:

after (the option corresponding to "after")
