PBS did an amazing biography on one of the last transorbital lobotomies, by Freeman himself. The patient is Howard Dully, and the This American Life episode is available on Youtube, as well as their site (I think). It was turned into a great book called My Lobotomy.
This site is hands down my favorite. I have so many great books to recommend, but if you want it right now, that's where to go.
Edit: But seriously, you should go read a book. The Lobotomist is fantastic. If you want to read about a procedure that actually developed in the way lobotomy supposedly did, checkout Madhouse: A Tragic Tale of Megalomania and Modern Medicine. It really did work like that, just not for lobotomies.
