symfony controllerAction persist several times alike object

In my controller there is a rather classic action "create" based on Doctrine CRUD generation.

But when I execute this action by clicking the "create" form button several times the same object is created as many times as I clicked.

This is a major problem because my class "Operation" is quite large and takes a long time to record. The user is very tempted to click several times.

 /**
 * Creates a new Operation entity.
 *
 * @Route("/", name="operation_create")
 * @Method("POST")
 * @Template("MyApplicationBundle:Operation:new.html.twig")
 */
public function createAction(Request $request)
{
    $entity  = new Operation();
    $form = $this->createForm(new OperationType(), $entity, array(
        'em' => $this->getDoctrine()->getManager(),
    ));
    $form->bind($request);

    if ($form->isValid()) {
        $em = $this->getDoctrine()->getManager();
        $entity->setdateCreation(new \DateTime())
               ->setUser($this->get('security.context')->getToken()->getUser());
        $em->persist($entity);
        $em->flush();
        $this->get('session')->getFlashBag()->add('success', 'OK');
        return $this->redirect($this->generateUrl('operation_show', array('id' => $entity->getId())));
    }
    return array(
        'entity' => $entity,
        'form'   => $form->createView(),
    );
}

If anyone can help me it would be really nice.

After click on create button you must disabled or remove them with JavaScript, and user can't click second time at it.

If you use jQuery:

<input type="submit" onclick="jQuery(this).attr('disabled', 'disabled')">
