文摘We discuss the properties of incompressible pairwise incompressible surfaces in a knot complement by using twist crossing number. Let K be a pretzel knot or rational knot that its twistindex is less than 6, and let F be an incompressible pairwise incompressible surface in S 3-K. Then F is a punctured sphere.
