Rounding at Rush welcomes John O’Toole, MD, to the show to discuss spinal tumor care at RUSH University Medical Center. RUSH is known for its use of minimally invasive procedures, interdisciplinary nature that streamlines care and success in creating better quality of life outcomes for its patients.
Dr. O’Toole is a neurosurgeon in the RUSH University System for Health, specializing in spinal oncology, minimally invasive spine surgery, complex spinal reconstruction and spinal radiosurgery. He is the Co-Director of the Coleman Foundation Comprehensive Spine Tumor Clinic and a Professor in the Department of Neurosurgery at RUSH Medical College.
“We reduce morbidity, recovery times and blood loss through the use of minimally invasive surgical techniques,” says Dr. O’Toole. “For the cancer population we treat, that’s incredibly important. These patients don’t have a lot of time to recover from major operations before they get on to radiation treatments and other systemic treatments for their cancer. We’ve been leaders in the use of these techniques, making a big difference in both the short-term and long-term outcomes for patients with spinal tumors.”
