Question: Is it still done?
Answers: Is it still done?
Lobotomies were popular in the days when there were basically no medications to treat mental illness.
Totay there are a small number of situations when lobotomies are useful. Now we are not talking about removing brain tissue to get at a cancer, but where healthy tissue is removed to treat a problem.
One such situation is very severe epilipsy, they will cut the connection between the hemispheres of the brain. However, this is only useful if the epilepsy is incredible severe.
Sure.
