Editing Bilateral cingulotomy (section)

== Side effects ==
Patients usually recover from this operation over a period of four days. However, there are cases of subjects being released from hospital after as few as 48 hours after the operation. The mild shorter postoperative complications that are most commonly related to bilateral cingulotomy are typical of head interventions and include but are not limited to [[nausea]], [[vomiting]], and [[headaches]]. However, in some cases, patients exhibit [[seizures]] that sometimes appear up to two months after the surgical intervention. It has been questioned whether this is relevant and can be attributed to cingulotomy because such seizures were observed in patients who already had a history of this condition.<ref name="Dougherty"/>
