The 22-year-old returned to London this week after suffering the injury on international duty with Brazil and now looks likely to miss the first two months of the season.
A statement on tottenhamhotspur.com read: "Following consultation with an independent knee specialist, Sandro underwent surgery on his left knee in London. Scans confirmed he had torn his lateral meniscus, as well as suffering a calf strain. The specialist has advised a three-month rehabilitation period before a return to full training."
The Brazilian made 19 league appearances, eight of them from the bench, for Spurs last season, scoring his only goal in the defeat to Chelsea in April.
