Now the trephinning is done by drill and is so modern. Drill at lest 3 hole in the skull; connect them with a cutting drill with a stop to prevent it from digging into the brain; and pop off the skull flap with a wedge and we have access to the brain. Mind those hands so we don't have any excess brain damage. Brain surgery hasn't come to far from these prehistoric implements. Now the trephinning is done by drill and is so modern.

It's actually rather mild compared to all the "routine" lobotomies which were performed into the late 20th century.
