Another word for belly button is what?
The navel (clinically known as the umbilicus, commonly known as the belly button or tummy button) is a protruding, flat, or hollowed area on the abdomen at the attachment site of the umbilical cord. All placental mammals have a navel, although it is generally more conspicuous in humans.
The navel is unique to each individual due to its being a scar, and various general forms have been classified by medical practitioners.
To minimize scarring, the navel is a recommended site of incision for various surgeries, including transgastric appendicectomy, gall bladder surgery, and the umbilicoplasty procedure itself.

If incisions include the navel, why did the surgeons skip mine both times? In fact, I look like I have two navels.

Char,
I'm beginning to think that what you so often refer to as "common knowledge" questions should actually be referred to as gifts... AKA, Char-ity!
