"It was getting worse," said Bynum, who hopes the procedure will allow him to play effectively in the finals against the Boston Celtics as the Lakers seek a second straight NBA crown.
"The swelling wasn't leaving, so they had to do it. I was doing the treatment, but it wasn't going anywhere."
Bynum was diagnosed with a meniscus tear during the Lakers' first-round playoff series against Oklahoma City.
He has started all 16 of the Lakers postseason games, but has been hindered by the injury.
Coach Phil Jackson said Bynum will probably be limited but remains likely to play against Boston. The best-of-seven championship series starts Thursday in Los Angeles.
"I'm out there for whatever they ask me to do, any amount of minutes," Bynum said. "You don't come this far just to say, 'OK, I can't go any more.'"
