No it will not cause direct effect on your surgery.But I want to inform you that one of reasons for appendix burst may be your weed smoking.As it's danger chemical absorbs in blood through lungs and causes damage to intestinal mucosal wall.Appendix is a part of intestine.Weed smoking may have made it inflammatory and later on burst.So better to avoid forever to prevent future such problems.And ya if you operated through laprotomy(whole incision not laprocscopy) then it will loosen the realignment of the incision tissue and poor scar formation may occur.
