I have never heard of doing a drug screen before a surgery.
If you smoke a lot, they may not like the idea of giving you general anesthesia, but I really doubt it will interfere with anything.
I have had general anesthesia for a surgery during a time when I smoked pot. Nobody asked, nobody tested.
If you are a minor they do have a right to disclose information to parents. But I think you will be OK.

No, they do not routinely test for drugs. They check the blood and urine before any surgery. If you are using drugs it would be best to discontinue them. Depending on what drugs you are using the healing process could be delayed.
