Abstract
This paper analyzes the results of surgical treatment of 73 patients with drug addiction. They were treated by lesions in the anterior cingulum. Morphine, Pethidine (meperidine) and alcohol were the common drugs of addiction. Selection of cases, rationale for surgery and operative technique are discussed. Follow-up varied from 1 to 6 years. Results of surgery indicate this procedure as the most promising one for cure of drug addiction.
