Incisional hernia: Depending on how long ago the appendix operation was it is possible he has a small hernia at the scar near his belly button. Ok to check with your surgeon, review the pathology report. Additional exam and or imaging may be needed.

Hernia: It is possible that there may be a small umbilical hernia as a result of partial opening of his umbilical incision, if surgery was done laparoscopically.
