"10. Top 10 Fascinating And Notable Lobotomies
The first documented case of psychosurgery was in 1888 by Swiss
psychiatrist Gottlieb Burckhardt. He claimed success in 50% of
patients (3 of 6) Burckhardt was met with overt criticism from his
contemporary medical colleagues. The next attempt at this type of
surgery did not occur until the mid 1930s which produced many
documented success stories and soon became an accepted surgery
procedure in many countries. From the late 1930s to the 1970s
approximately 100,000 psychosurgeries / lobotomies were performed
world-wide."
