@pony The operation really isn't necessary in any case. If the caretaker can't find the cause for the screaming, then there's some deeper issue at hand that's going to need an opinion from someone trained to deal with the mentally disabled. There are way too many solutions to the problem that, even if they are less obvious than "remove the ability to scream", work much better in any possible situation. Maybe the solution is proper use of sedatives, or regular therapy sessions (for the record, my brother gets a combination of the two), or something else, but there's definitely ways to solve it that will make the person much happier in the end than they were before.
