Gallbladder (Cholecystectomy)
A cholecystectomy is the surgical removal of the gallbladder. It is commonly recommended when the gallbladder becomes inflamed or infected, or when gallstones cause ongoing pain or complications. Dr. Wenger offers minimally-invasive gallbladder surgery using advanced laparoscopic and robotically-assisted techniques. Cholecystectomy is one of the most commonly performed surgical procedures in the United Sates and is widely recognized as a safe and effective outpatient surgery.
Hernia Repair
A hernia occurs where there is a weakness in the abdominal wall, allowing tissue or an organ to push through and create a visible bulge or lump. While some small hernias that don’t cause discomfort may be safely monitored, surgery is the recommended treatment to repair a hernia.
If a hernia continues to grow or begins to cause pain, discomfort, or other symptoms, surgical repair is usually recommended to prevent complications. Dr. Wenger evaluates each patient individually to determine the most appropriate treatment approach.

Colon Surgery
Colon surgery is performed to diagnose and treat conditions affecting the lower digestive tract, including includes your intestines, colon, rectum and anus. These organs play an important role in absorbing nutrients from food and processing waste from the body.
Conditions that may require colon surgery include colon polyps, colorectal cancer, and inflammatory diseases of the digestive tract. Treatment recommendations depend on the specific diagnosis, severity of symptoms, and overall patient health.
Dr. Eston Wenger is experienced in both open and minimally invasive colon surgery, offering individualized surgical care focused on safety, effectiveness, and optimal recovery.
Skin Cancer, Cyst & Lipoma Removal
Skin cancer, cyst, and lipoma removal are common procedures performed to diagnose, treat, or relieve pain caused by abnormal skin growths. Skin cancer removal involves eliminating cancerous or suspicious lesions while preserving as much healthy tissue as possible.
Cysts are usually benign, fluid-filled sacs that may become painful or infected. Dr. Wenger can safely remove cysts, if they become painful or uncomfortable. Cyst removal can often be performed in the office.
Lipomas are noncancerous fatty tumors that grow under the skin. They are usually removed if they cause discomfort, restrict movement or grow larger. Dr. Wenger often performs these procedures an outpatient, in-office basis with minimal downtime for most patients.
