Is surrendering a property in bankruptcy the same as foreclosure?

I have been talking to a few attorney’s and they tell me that you can surrender property in either a Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 bankruptcy.If you “surrender” the property, does it still count as a foreclosure against you? Does the bankruptcy protection, from either a Chapter 7 or 13, protect you from possible lawsuits etc?I know many people view Chapter 7 as liquidation, but I have been told by many attorney’s you can also surrender in a 13 but people just opt not to.
