Moschcowitz/Moskowitz culdoplasty

Find references for AV Moschcowitz of Mt. Sinai pioneering rectal and femoral hernia procedures and Mark Moskowitz pioneering mesh inguinal hernia repair, but does anyone know for certain who the culdoplasty is named for? Find it spelled every possible way on Google and in reference books, but no reference actually pinning down identity of inventor.

Moschcowitz
per Stedmans GYN book, page 119
Moschcowitz (sm)
Alexis Moschcowitz proposed in 1912 that rectal prolapse was caused by a sliding herniation of the pouch of Douglas through the pelvic floor fascia into the anterior aspect of the rectum. His theory was based on the fact that the pelvic floor of prolapse patients is mobile and unsupported and the observation that other adjacent structures can occasionally be seen alongside the rectal component of the prolapse.

Where is the evidence linking him to culdoplasty?
Thanks, I know about the Mt. Sinai link and Alexis Moschcowitz. But his only publications were about femoral hernias, rectal prolapse, and thoracoplasty. Where is evidence firmly linking him, or anyone for that matter, to the culdoplasty?
Eli M. named a congenital syndrome - not a culdoplasty procedure nm
