Cutting Edge, Multidisciplinary Neurosurgical Care at Rush With Vincent Traynelis, MD

The Rush Neurosurgery program is a nationally recognized leader in neurosurgical care, incorporating the most advanced surgical and nonsurgical therapies to treat brain, spine and nervous system conditions. Rush neurosurgeons collaborate with neurologists, neuroradiologists, physiatrists and otolaryngologists to address these conditions, providing patients with individualized and disease-specific approaches in several subspecialty clinics and centers across Chicago and surrounding communities.

Vincent Traynelis, MD, is the interim chair of the Department of Neurosurgery at Rush University Medical Center. He is also the vice chair of academic affairs and the director of the Spine and Peripheral Nerve Section at Rush.

“At Rush, our surgeons are highly trained and specialized in performing skull base surgery. They have the skill set to handle complex tumors and they work hand –in hand with our colleagues in otolaryngology.

They discuss these tumors preoperatively. They consider all of the options. They have the latest equipment. And I believe what sets us apart is that we have the right people with the right focus who can get along and work well together.”
