Why tell the team?
Because supplements can interact with prescription medicines, including those used around an operation.
NCCIH says to tell all your health care providers about every supplement you take (NCCIH, Using Supplements Wisely). This site gives no stop-date advice, which belongs to the surgical team.
A source note02
What do sources note?
MSK lists bleeding during surgery among serious case reports for saw palmetto.
It also says saw palmetto may increase bruising and bleeding with blood thinners (MSK, Saw Palmetto). These are case reports. A team weighs them with your history. MSK also says Epimedium may affect medicines processed by CYP3A4 (MSK, Epimedium).
