Do you have to remove your piercings if going in for keyhole surgery?

Why do you have to remove piercings when getting surgery for a kidney stone?
Piercing jewelry can get in the way of drains, catheters and surgical routes, among other things. For the sake of safety, especially regarding the risk of potential infection, all piercings need to be removed prior to surgery. For any mouth piercings, these would need to be removed - due to the need for intubation during surgery (and tubing could get caught on mouth/tongue piercings). For any umbilical piercings (bellybutton), these could be in the way of drains from the abdominal cavity. For any labial piercings, these could be problematic for urinary catheterization, which is routinely used during surgical procedures.

How can society get businesses to not see tattoos and piercings as unprofessional?
This is going to be tough, as most countries still view such things as unprofessional. It's going to be a long time before this changes, I'm afraid.

The best way for employees to handle it is just to cover up the tattoos and remove the hardware before work or cover the piercings if possible.

It shouldn't present a problem unless you get infected and the infection persists until the time of operation. Any infection present during surgery increases the risk of complications. They may ask you to remove the jewelry for the procedure but you can just get a retainer for it by going to a professional piercer or going to a reliable body jewelry store online
