yes it certainly is possible for c-section scar to be a problem. Either because endo cells got trapped in the wound as it was closed up, which is called iatrogenic endometriosis, where a human intervention accidentally shifted some endo cells to a new location.

or from adhesions and scarring on the inside of the wound site which grow and can attach to nearby organs and tissue and become a problem in its own right.

Do mention this to your surgeon before the op and they can take a look behind the old scar and see if there is anything there that needs removing or cutting back.

Best of Luck for you op and a speedy recovery.
