Aspiration lesions involve removal of tissue through suction, and are therefore less likely to damage blood vessels compared to techniques such as knife cuts or radio-frequency lesions, which involve cutting or burning tissue. Electrolytic lesions utilize electrical current to destroy tissue, and can also potentially damage blood vessels. Lobotomy is a type of surgical procedure that involves cutting connections between the prefrontal cortex and other brain regions, and can also involve cutting blood vessels.
