The Fowler position, widely used in surgery and obstetrics for patient placement, marks a fraction of 19th-century Brooklyn surgeon George Ryerson Fowler's prodigious accomplishments. Fowler was a pioneer who refined the appendectomy, performed the first lung decortication, advocated for sterile techniques, introduced first aid in the US Army, and helped start a precursor to Annals of Surgery. His publications include the first US textbook on appendicitis--ironically, the disease that killed him.
福勒体位在外科和产科中被广泛用于患者安置，这只是 19 世纪布鲁克林外科医生乔治·赖尔森·福勒（George Ryerson Fowler）众多成就的一小部分。福勒是一位先驱，他改进了阑尾切除术，进行了首例肺切除术，倡导无菌技术，在美国陆军中引入了急救，并帮助创建了《外科学年鉴》的前身。他的出版物包括第一本美国阑尾炎教科书——具有讽刺意味的是，这种疾病最终也夺走了他的生命。
