Naffzigera-Tauna Section

The Naffziger Towne incision is a surgical technique developed by two American surgeons, Naffziger and Towne. This method was developed to treat diseases associated with the abdominal cavity and intestines.

Naffziger and Towne were renowned surgeons of their time who worked at New York General Hospital. They were both known for their innovative treatments and development of new surgical techniques.

The Naffziger-Towne incision method involves the surgeon making an incision in the patient's abdomen that goes through the abdomen and intestines. The surgeon then removes the affected parts of the intestine and restores the integrity of the abdominal cavity.

This method has been very effective in treating various diseases such as colon cancer, appendicitis and other diseases. It has also been used to treat intestinal infections and other diseases.

However, the Naffziger-Town cut method has its drawbacks. For example, it can lead to complications such as bleeding and infection. In addition, this method can be very complex and requires a highly skilled surgeon.

This technique is rarely used today, but it is still an important tool in the surgeon's arsenal.



Naffziger Adolf-Samuel (1887-1962) and Townes Edward White (1894-1973) are famous surgeons who made significant contributions to the development of medical science and practice. Of great importance for the development of surgery, for example, was their proposal for dividing suture materials into absorbable and non-absorbable.

From 1922 to 1941, Naffzeger served as associate professor of surgery at Cornell University Medical College, then served as clinical professor of surgery at the University of Pennsylvania until 1958. During this period, he carried out a lot of work in the field of prevention, diagnosis and treatment of infectious diseases. He isolated blood from tumor tissue and was a pioneer in virological research. In 1939 he was elected president of the American Society of Surgeons
