The surgery was botched and Rosemary emerged almost completely disabled.

I mean, it's a lobotomy. Is this not the end result of all lobotomies?

It is. What bothers me the most is I suspect he knew this would simply make her docile. Seems like the kind of thing you discuss with your wife beforehand.
