Is this anything like a cingulotomy?
From a long time ago, I remember reading that cingulotomy had only a 30% probability of success with TRD. The two major cites that investigated neurosurgery for affective disorders were in Boston (Harvard / Mass General) and Australia (I can't remember which city). I think these two research centers worked in tandem. This was a few years ago.
