Extract

From October, 1947, to October, 1952, we have had the opportunity of performing prefrontal leucotomy on 339 patients at the Neurosurgical Clinic in Belgrade. As this operation is of importance in the treatment of mental disease we consider it necessary to report our experiences and our results.
