A member asked:

I'm curious what could happen to people after lobotomy?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Lobotomy: The outcome depends on the location of the lobotomy. Traditional frontal lobotomies were performed to make angry violent people more docile. Some areas of the brain are silent and there is little neurological damage. Other areas such as the occipital lobe can cause vision loss. Discuss the possible outcome with a neurologist or neurosurgeon.
