If you prefer to wear a diaper during surgery instead of using a catheter then you can wear an adult diaper during surgery.
Or for a child that is undergoing surgery for longer than a few hours then it's recommended that the child wear a diaper even if they are potty trained to prevent accidents.
Patients do sometimes pee during surgery although a urinary catheter is often used on patients during surgery to keep the bladder empty and prevent the patient from peeing on themselves during surgery.
The reason you have to shower twice before surgery is to remove germs and bacteria from your skin which could cause an infection after surgery.
Before surgery you'll usually be asked to shower and wash your body with a special soap called ChlorHexidine Gluconate (CHG or HIbiclens) before surgery.
The reason you shouldn't wear any deodorant before or during surgery is because the deodorant leaves a residue on your skin which makes it difficult for the surgeon to cut through the skin and makes it difficult for the surgeon to accurately assess your skin circulation during surgery.
