Isotretinoin Completely gone by 1 month

Accutane (Isotretinoin) is considered completely gone from your system 30 days after your last dose. Donating blood and pregnancy should be avoided until then. Since the medicines 1/2 life (time it takes 1/2 of medicine to be cleared form your body) is 21 hours, the vast majority is cleared by 4 days.

Could you comment on how long 7 days of 60mg of accutane would last in the body? I need surgery and have been told after even 2 days on accutane waiting 6 months for any surgery is recommended.
