My understanding, based on civil service experience, is that it's only supposed to be used where someone has no annual leave left and in emergency situations, not where it is foreseen which it seems to have been in your case. I'd agree with your employer.
I don't imagine most employers would refuse the day off but they would expect it to be taken out of annual leave. Having said that I knew someone whose doctor always gave them a cert when their child was ill so they could just take sick leave.

Civil service force majeure does not require the employee to have no Annual Leave left. However it does need to be an emergency/unforseen situation. An elective surgery clearly doesn't fulfill this criteria.
The operation was not elective, it was non-elective surgery.
