Hesselbach Triangle

 

                                                          Franz Caspar Hesselbach 

As a surgeon, Hesselbach is best known for his work with Hernia operations. He was the first to describe a handful of anatomical structures, such as the cribiform fascia (Hesselbach's fascia), interfoveolar ligament (Hesselbach's ligament) and the inguinal triangle (Hesselbach's triangle).
