You should definitely try ECT before psychosurgery of any kind. In fact, I think any surgeon who didn't require failures of ECT and every class of antidepressant (with lithium augmentation) before operating would be irresponsible.

ECT has a success rate of over 90%. It is the most effective treatment known for depression, and changes in technique have greatly reduced the short term memory loss associated with it.
