the monitoring may vary depending on time and surgical procedure.
Monitor total drainage output according to established procedures for (a) the time elapsed since the operation and (b) the surgical procedure carried out.
It's extremely brief and therefore obscure, but not really incorrect.

time elapsed after surgical procedure
yes it means exactly that: "time elapsed after surgical procedure".

: I agree that your definition of "time post op" is correct but think that Michaels answer regarding the suitability of the entire sentence is more complete.

The line is not correct.
You are correct that "post-op" means "post operation".
Thus "time post-op and procedure" is redundant. It should be either "time post-op" or "time post procedure".
