That's where the camera goes, so they can angle it "up" towards the stomach and see everything. Mine is actually above my belly button, not right in it.

I have seen laparoscopic cholecystectomies (gall bladder removal) and the camera WAS in the belly button. But it's been several years, so I'm not sure if it's surgeon preference or what.

    I had an incision in my navel! I figured it was just one less visible scar!

    I had a laproscopy 20 years ago fro something else and I was glad that they went in through the belly button. I will ask to have them do it again, because it literally is invisble....
