Specialties
-
Pediatric Surgery
Pediatric surgeons are to children what general surgeons are to adults, performing a wide range of surgeries on the organs and structures of the abdomen. Because children are still maturing and growing, their surgical needs are much different from that of an adult. Dr. Nigro has been specifically trained to take these and other factors into account when planning for and performing pediatric surgeries.
-
Cardiac Surgery
Dr. John Nigro is a cardiac surgeon dedicated to the surgical healing of heart and cardiovascular illnesses. These might include atherosclerosis, endocarditis, valvular, or congenital heart disease, rheumatic, and ischemic. Dr. Nigro may conduct procedures including coronary artery bypass, heart transplant surgery, heart valve repair, or surgical implantation of defibrillators and pacemakers.
-
Thoracic Surgery
Following rigorous and lengthy training, thoracic surgeons are uniquely qualified to perform complex surgeries on the chest, or thorax as it is sometimes called. Their focus is usually on the lungs, esophagus, and other areas of the chest, and may also include the heart. As such, Dr. Nigro may see patients in Arizona for a wide range of surgeries, for example removing cancer causing tumors from the esophagus and chest wall, or even a lung transplant.
