What i had done and a frontal lobotomy?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

What you had done?: Frontal lobotomies are not often done today. The majority of them were done by psychiatrists by placing a tome under the eyelid on each side pushing into the brain and moving the knife (tome) side to side to cut brain tracts. There was a very high morbidity. Frontal lobes (one) are often removed with tumor or hemorrhage. Removing one side usually leaves person normal.
