Dr., Rear Admiral, Pioneer Plastic Surgeon
Dr. Paul W. Greeley, 83, a plastic surgeon, was a former professor at Rush Medical College and the University of Illinois at Chicago College of Medicine. He wrote more than 125 manuscripts and textbooks on plastic and reconstructive surgery.
Memorial services for Dr. Greeley, a resident of Winnetka who had retired to La Jolla, Calif., in 1972, will be held Tuesday in St. James by the Sea Episcopal Church in La Jolla. He died Saturday in Scripps Memorial Hospital there.
"Before World War II, Dr. Greeley was probably one of only 200 plastic surgeons in the country," according to Dr. John W. Curtin, his partner of 20 years. "As a result of the war, there was a real growth in both numbers and techniques. Now there are approximately 3,500 certified plastic surgeons nationally."
"He was one of the post-World War II pioneers in achieving that growth and in maintaining a plastic surgeon teaching center at the University of Illinois, Rush Medical School and Rush-Presbyterian-St. Luke's Medical Center," Dr. Curtin said.
Dr. Greeley was a hospital chief of plastic surgery in World War II and subsequently rose to the rank of rear admiral in the Naval Reserve.
Except in the war years, Dr. Greeley practiced medicine and surgery in Chicago from 1927 to 1969 and was clinical professor of surgery and head of the division of plastic surgery at the University of Illinois College of Medicine from 1937 to 1967. He also was professor of surgery and chairman of the department of plastic and reconstructive surgery at Rush Medical College and Rush-Presbyterian-St. Luke's Medical Center from 1957 to 1967.
From 1943 to 1946, he was chief of the plastic surgery service at the Naval Hospital in Oakland, Calif. He was promoted to rear admiral in the U.S. Naval Reserve Medical Corps in 1961.
Dr. Greeley was a member of the American Medical Association, the American College of Surgeons, the Chicago Surgical Society, the American Association of Plastic Surgeons and the American Society of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons as well as numerous other surgical societies.
Dr. Greeley was a graduate of the University of Illinois and of Northwestern Medical School. He received advanced surgical training at the University of Freiburg and in Munich, Germany, and London. He was born in Waterman, Ill., where his father, Dr. Paul E.N. Greeley, was a physician and surgeon for 35 years.
He is survived by his wife, Vivian; a son, Paul J.; and three grandchildren.
Memorial services for Dr. Greeley, a resident of Winnetka who had retired to La Jolla, Calif., in 1972, will be held Tuesday in St. James by the Sea Episcopal Church in La Jolla. He died Saturday in Scripps Memorial Hospital there.
