Sane said in a statement on dfb.de: 'I would have liked to have gone to Russia, but after talks with the medical team, I have decided to use the summer break for this operation so that I can go into the new season with a clean bill of health.'
Manager Joachim Low has selected seven uncapped players in his 23-man squad for the tournament in Russia, with the likes of Manuel Neuer, Mats Hummels, Mesut Ozil and Thomas Muller all omitted.
Sane was one of three Premier League-based players to be called up alongside Liverpool midfielder Emre Can and Arsenal defender Shkodran Mustafi and Low has until June 7 to submit a final squad to FIFA for the competition.
