He was a pupil, and later Prosector under Karl Kaspar von Siebold (1736–1807) at Würzburg. Later Hesselbach was a lecturer at Würzburg, where one of his students was Konrad Johann Martin Langenbeck (1776–1851). His son, Adam Kaspar Hesselbach (1788–1856) was also a surgeon.
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 cribriform fascia (Hesselbach's fascia), interfoveolar ligament (Hesselbach's ligament) and the inguinal triangle (Hesselbach's triangle).

gollark: Fair point about being freestanding. I think + and stuff do obviously work okay in `no_std`, no idea how.
gollark: So they added an `operator` keyword for that one use? Not very consistent.
gollark: You define a function, and it magically gets treated as an operator overload.
gollark: Is the approach of "stick magic function names in as methods" used by any other standard library or language feature?
gollark: * no dedicated support needed
