Drs. Jessica Cutler and Lauren Nigro Featured on "Medoscopy"

Jessica Cutler, M.D., a weight loss surgeon at The Maryland Bariatric Center at Mercy, and Lauren C. Nigro, M.D., a board certified plastic surgeon with The Breast Reconstruction and Restoration Center at Mercy are guests for the hospital's ongoing talk show series, "Medoscopy," airing on Facebook Watch.

A 30-minute pre-taped program that explores the background and lives of Mercy clinicians, patients and others, Medoscopy was launched in spring 2022 and airs in two 15-minute segments. Past episodes of Medoscopy are available for viewing on Mercy's YouTube channel.

In this latest installment, Drs. Cutler and Nigro explain their respective fields of expertise, the challenges of becoming physicians and balancing work and home life. Dr. Cutler explained her interest in fossils, such as shark's teeth from prehistoric times, and her love of the Washington Capitals. Dr. Nigro noted her background in molecular biology, and what an old hammer she brought to her interview tells us about her past interests, like woodworking.

In addition, Dr. Nigro offered viewers insights into her work with advanced breast reconstruction surgeries including DIEP flap technique. Dr. Cutler touched on weight loss surgery procedures such as the Laparoscopic Gastric Sleeve Surgery and Gastric Bypass (Roux-en-Y) Surgery.

Now in its third season, Medoscopy is filmed on the campus of Mercy Medical Center in downtown Baltimore with video, sound, and lighting by Zinnia Film.
