Washington (CNN) - Texas Gov. Rick Perry will undergo minor back surgery next month, his office said Friday.

Perry spokesperson Katherine Cesinger said the "minor medical procedure" on July 1st is to "repair a reoccurring back ailment".

She said the procedure was scheduled several months ago, and will not affect the Governor's current schedule. The surgery will be done in Austin, but no other details are being released.
