In this article, the author proves that a simple closed polygon ⊂ R 3 can bound only finitely many immersed minimal surfaces of disc-type if it meets the following two requirements: firstly it has to bound only minimal surfaces without boundary branch points, and secondly its total curvature, i.e. the sum of the exterior angles {η l } at its N + 3 vertices, has to be smaller than 6π.
