Neurological Surgery

Loyola University Health System (Loyola) has one of the nation’s most comprehensive and advanced neurosurgery departments. The team of specialists performs more than 1,000 cranial surgeries per year and collaborates on about 150 skull base operations per year – which puts Loyola among the top five neurosurgery centers nationwide for volume.

Loyola’s neurosurgeons are able to treat the most challenging cases because of their considerable experience and their highly collaborative working style. Neurosurgeons partner with neurologists, otolaryngologists, neuroradiologists, neuroanthesthesiologists and many other specialists throughout the medical center to design the best treatment plan for each patient.

The team treats adult and pediatric patients with disorders of the skull, the brain and its blood supply; disorders of the spinal cord and vertebral column; and disorders of the nerves connected to the brain and spinal cord. In addition to providing the highest quality clinical care, the neurosurgery faculty members are leaders in education and research. In laboratories, such as the Spinal Cord Injury and Repair Laboratory, they are actively developing better treatments for neurological problems.
