Do surgeons get bathroom breaks during extremely long operations?
Answer

Yes, if they really need them. Lots of surgeons will try to avoid having to use the restroom by limiting fluid intake, but nobody’s going to deny them a bathroom break if they need to go. They simply "break scrub," do their business, and scrub back in.
To make them more manageable, some intense surgeries have different teams to handle different aspects. With this strategy, a day-long surgery can translate into only a few hours for any individual surgeon.

Here is an idea... why don't you reconsider that question, and all that asking such a question implies for your intellectual ability, and then decided if you REALLY want to ask it, or if you think it might be better for your self esteem if you just simply deleted the question...

Asked in Doctors
Do doctors have bathroom breaks?
Yes. They are human and have the same bodily functions as anyone
else. A surgeon would likely use the toilet before scrubbing up to
operate on the next patient. A very lengthy surgery would employ
multiple surgeons, and thus if a surgeon has to be excused while
they use the toilet and prep for surgery again, others can
cover.

Why does glass breaks when it is filled with extremely hot water?
It is only true that glass breaks when it's filled with
extremely hot water when it has just been filled with extremely
cold water. Glass cannot handle extremely volatile temperature
changes, which is why you must be careful to do things such as
rinse a glass with warm water that you've just taken out of the
freezer, and you must always let a beaker/crucible cool before you
rinse it out after burning it. The same rules apply to porcelain as
well.
