Sami Khedira has successfully undergone knee surgery and will immediately begin rehabilitation, Juventus have confirmed.
The midfielder revealed earlier this month that he would be treated to cure a longstanding problem, with his aim "to be back at 100 per cent for the start of the next campaign".
Juve announced on Monday that Khedira had visited a doctor in Augsburg to have an arthroscopic cleansing of the right knee.
A short statement added: "The player can commence rehabilitation immediately."
Khedira had only recently returned from a heart problem, with his season restricted to just 10 Serie A appearances.
