About Murali Guthikonda
Dr. Murali Guthikonda completed his medical education at Guntar Medical College In Guntar, India, and was a neurosurgical resident at the University of Vermont. He is a specialist in endoscopic, minimally invasive skull base and cerebrovascular surgery. Skull base surgery deals with the management of lesions located at the base of the skull, beneath the brain. Formerly inaccessible and inoperable lesions may now be managed through advanced neurosurgical and microsurgical techniques. Dr. Guthikonda has a special interest in the treatment of pituitary tumors and uses minimally invasive approaches to manage large and complex versions of this type of tumor. By using endoscopic techniques, Dr. Guthikonda can offer patients safer ways to remove these tumors.
Dr. Guthikonda specializes in treating complex aneurysms and vascular malformations of the brain using advanced neurosurgical and microsurgical techniques.
Dr. Guthikonda is the author of numerous articles and a frequent lecturer throughout the United States and India on topics related to skull base surgery. He served as Chairman of the Department of Neurosurgery at Wayne State University (2000 - 2015), and has been instrumental in recent growth in the department’s sub-specialty programs. He is actively involved with resident training and is currently the program director of the Neurosurgical Residency Program at Wayne State.

04/28/2021
I would recommend Dr guthikonda to any and everyone that I know who has a problem in that area of his expertise right now I know a young lady who is suffering from seizures and she doesn't know why she's having them so I will be introducing her to Dr Guthikonda no later than today.
