Hi and welcome to HCM. Thanks for the query.
youshould not use blood thinners 5 das prior to surgery and there is no compromsiing with this. to low prothrombine time may have bad effect on sugery and may cause difficulties in hemostasis so consult your surgeon once again about this.
WIsh you good health. Regards
