Küttner-Wenglovsky Operation

The Küttner-Wenglowski operation is a surgical procedure that was developed by German surgeons Heinrich Küttner and Pavel I. Wenglowski in 1905. It is used to treat appendicitis and other diseases associated with the appendix.

The essence of the operation is to remove the appendix through a small incision in the navel area. This avoids large incisions in the abdomen, which reduces the risk of complications after surgery. In addition, the operation is performed without the use of general anesthesia, which makes it safer for the patient.

The Küttner-Wengl operation has been successfully used for more than 100 years and is one of the most common operations in the world. It is highly effective and has a low rate of complications, making it one of the safest methods of treating appendicitis.
