Abstract.
In this article we prove that the surgery groups of the fundamental group of a certain class of Haken 3-manifolds can be computed in terms of a generalized homology theory even if the manifolds do not support any nonpositively curved Riemannian metric. A consequence of this result is that the integral Novikov conjecture is true for the fundamental group of this class of manifolds.
