Check with your doctor. They often will not do the surgery if you have been instructed not to eat or drink unless it is emergency surgery and you have to have it or you will, you know, die.

It would not matter if you NEEDED emergency surgery.

Can you eat or drink anything before ear tube surgery?

Generally: no. The rule of not eating or drinking before surgery isn't therer for the surgery itself, but for the anesthetic. Narcosis is a serious matter, and trying to intubate a person that has eaten something can be very dangerous, as they will vomit and thus possibly inhale some vomit. This leads to aspiration pneumonia, which can be very dangerous and even lethal. Even if you are having surgery that can be done under regional anesthetic, most anesthesiologists will ask you not to eat or drink, as when something goes wrong, they then can just intubate you and deal with almost anything a lot easier.
