Either is possible, and you will never know which one was the culprit. If the pelvic organs are inflammed it's possible for adhesion to occur at any time. There is nothing that we know of to prevent this. Sadly, the female pelvic organs have a propensity towards adhesion formation. While laparoscopic surgery can sometimes cause adhesions, this is less likely than adhesion formation from the illness itself.

I hope the surgery goes well and you end up with an uneventful pregnancy!
