In a statement, Liverpool said, "Henderson has successfully had a corrective procedure carried out on the adductor injury. He will begin a rehabilitation programme immediately."
"No specific timescale is being placed upon his return; however, he is ruled out initially until after the March international break," the statement detailed further.
The 30-year-old England international will miss Premier League games against Sheffield United, Chelsea, Fulham and Wolverhampton Wanderers, as well as the Champions League last-16 second leg against Leipzig.
In in the league standings, Liverpool are sixth with 40 points from 25 games, five points lower than West Ham United who are in fourth place.
