I wanted to do inguinal hernia surgery but was tested positive for hepatitis B (HBsag). Does hepatitis b effect my surgery?

these tests are needed and there s no fast cure, antivirals alone are useless:
hbsag quantity in iu/ml (machine abbott architect or roches elecsys)
hbvdna pcr
hbeag, hbeab
hbv genotype
fibroscan
cure is:
tenofovir for 3-5 years and then peginterferon add on for another 2 years
be aware that most liver specialists are ignorant or corrupted by drug makers to sell antivirals for life to patients, if you find one of these tell him about his ignorance or being corrupt (it is good useless doctors get to be aware we dont need them) and look immediately for one who is updated and expert
