“The procedure will entail treatment to an area of damaged and blistered skin.
“It is expected he will spend a few days in hospital after the procedure.”
Gatland, who has overseen two Grand Slam successes with Wales and a Heineken Cup and three English premiership titles with Wasps, was appointed Lions coach three weeks ago.
It was initially feared that his injuries might threaten his involvement with the Lions, with assistant Rob Howley taking charge for Wales’ summer series against the Wallabies.
But those concerns eased with his recovery and next summer Gatland will aim to mastermind the Lions’ first Test series win in 16 years.
