How is a laproscopic insicision made in the belly button? having surgery for appendix but my navel is tiny, how will this proceudre be done?

Ask your surgeon: I would ask your surgeon. I like to place my incision just below the belly button, but i know surgeons that don't use this area at all and prefer to use a right upper quadrant incision.
