Extract

Between 11 October, 1942 and 31 December, 1947, the operation of prefrontal leucotomy was carried out on 345 patients at the Graylingwell Hospital, Chichester. The technique was similar to that of the standard method of Freeman and Watts: in each case the operation was performed by Mr. A. G. Ross. The paper reports the results of a clinical follow-up investigation in 330 of the cases; the remaining 15 could not be traced.
