Let \(V_k\) denote the usual class of analytic functions in the open unit disc \(U\) of the complex plane with bounded boundary rotation. Let \(T_k\) denote the class of functions \[ f(z)= z+ \sum^\infty_{n= 2} a_nz^n \] for which there exists a \(\phi\in V_k\) such that \(\text{Re}\left({f'(z)\over\phi'(z)}\right)> 0\). For a complex number \(c\) with \(\text{Re }c> 0\) and \(g\) analytic in \(U\) with \(g(0)= 0= 1- g'(0)\) and \(g(z)\neq 0\) for \(z\neq 0\) in \(U\) define the integral operator \(I_c\) by \[ I_c(f)= {c+1\over (g(z))^c} \int^z_0 f(t)(g(t))^{c- 1}g'(t)dt. \] In this paper, the author obtains conditions on \(g\) so that the integral operator preserves the classes \(V_k\) and \(T_k\). It should be noted that great caution must be exercised in defining the integral operator because it is not possible to choose principal branches for all the power functions involving \(g\) as described by the author because \(g(0)= 0\).
