Will Having A Scope Interfere With Shoulder Surgery?

I am scheduled to have major shoulder surgery on December 9th. I am also scheduled to have a scope to check for calcified granuloma within the spleen, and bilateral nephrolithiasis on December 8th. Should I cancel the scope for fear it might interfere with the surgery the next day?
