Knee exercises for torn meniscus

I've suffered a torn knee meniscus and ACL earlier this year. I would like to have the surgery after a year and half. I believe there will be scar tissue build up at the internal wound site. Having scar tissue will it complicate the operation and could it cause me knee problems post the operation? Can I postpone the surgery like this?
