Lateral to the inguinal aponeurotic falx (i.e. the conjoint tendon) there is a ligamentous band originating from the lower margin of the transversus abdominis muscle and extending down in front of the inferior epigastric artery to the superior ramus of the pubis; it is termed the interfoveolar ligament of Hesselbach and sometimes contains a few muscular fibers.
It is named for Franz Kaspar Hesselbach.[1]
