May Allah grant you complete shifa. Sorry for the delay in reply. You must have recovered by now. But the answer will help someone else.

If it is possible for you to do Masah on the place of operation then it will be necessary to do Masah on that area. If that is not possible, but it is possible for you to do Masah on the plaster or bandage on the operated area then you will have to do Masah on the plaster or bandage. If that is also not possible or may damage the plaster or bandage, then you may leave that area out and your Ghusl will be complete.
After that you should perform Wudhu normally for Salah.
