The operation was performed by Dr. Martin O'Malley at the Hospital for Special Surgery in New York City.
Pekovic missed eight games last season because of ankle issues. He averaged career highs in points (13.9) and rebounds (7.4) and was second in the NBA with a .564 field goal percentage.
Pekovic was third in the league's Most Improved Player voting.
