when did docs stop doing lobotomies?

I know: morbid. But seriously, when did docs stop lobotomizing people? A lot of basic articles say Tofranil, Meprobamate, Thorazine, and the MAOIs put an end to the practice, but it appears that lobotomies were still done well into the 1970s. I read one 1980 newspaper article about lobotomy that said 200 or so were still performed each year (!).
Do you think they still do them? Maybe in state mental hospitals?
