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.

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.
