Woah, I was SO off with this.  Below is what I know 'trepan,  
trepanning' as:

"Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913)"
Trepan Tre*pan", v. t. & i. imp. & p. p. Trepanned; p. pr.
   & vb. n. Trepanning. Cf. F. tr'epaner. See Trepan a
   saw. (Surg.)
   To perforate (the skull) with a trepan, so as to remove a
   portion of the bone, and thus relieve the brain from pressure
   or irritation; to perform an operation with the trepan.

Thing is, this does have something to do with the past, as many  
cultures practiced trepanning, either for valid health reasons (ie  
pressure on the brain) or for religious reasons.
