MARK M. RAVITCH (1910-1989) was an American surgeon. He received his M.D. from Johns Hopkins University in 1934 and remained at Johns Hopkins to complete his surgical training, which he finished in 1943 under the mentorship of Alfred Blalock. He returned to Johns Hopkins at the conclusion of the war, becoming a professor of surgery in 1946. In the late 1940s he developed a new treatment for intussusception. His technique involved the use of a barium enema which could reduce intestinal pressure without the need for surgery. Ravitch served as president of the American Surgical Association in 1983–1984. During the course of his career he published 453 papers, 101 book chapters and 22 books, and was the editor of 20 medical journals. He is regarded as one of the founders of the subspecialty of pediatric surgery.
