No
Treatment for OCD is cognitive / behavioural / medication - or combinations. There is no surgical treatment for OCD.

Apparently yes, in extreme cases:
Psychosurgery: Psychosurgery is performed only in extreme cases in which OCD symptoms are debilitating and unresponsive to all other treatments of OCD. Psychosurgery has replaced the lobotomy procedure, which often produced unexpected brain damage and memory loss in patients. Psychosurgery involves severing or disabling certain parts of the brain with an electrode. Unlike the lobotomy, psychosurgery uses magnetic resonance imaging in order to select an appropriate place in the brain for surgery. More than a third of all psychosurgery patients report dramatic improvements in their OCD.

there was actually a special on i think mtv about an operation that is now being used to help people with ocd. in the case of the girl on mtv it didnt help her any and it was a major operation. they cut a piece of her brain and she still showed no improvement a year later. it was really sad actually. they do have pills that are suppose to make ocd more tolerable. it just depends on the severity of the case. it has worked for some and not so much for others.

I've read in the past that they refer to this particular operation as a singulotomy.
