Is trepanation used by modern sugeons?

No it is not for the most part, and certainly not by that name. Besides, the reasons for trepanation were usually superstitious in nature. When people had severe migraines many years ago, they would assume it was demons in their skull causing the pain. So if you have something in your body that doesn't belong, it is only reasonable to want to let it out, right? So they would drill holes in people's heads for a medical cure or exorcism. Of course, as modern science came along, such ideas were shown to be unfounded and the practice mostly stopped.

There is a guy on BMEzine who thought this procedure would have spiritual effects because it would, in his thinking, make it easier for spirits or whatever to get inside or somehow put him closer to the spirit world. He convinced his friends to help him with this and they seriously studied how to do this, and eventually performed this procedure. After an initial placebo effect, he realized he felt no different than before removing a small piece of his skull.
