: I would go with navel groove because there is no need to translate a genuin German Word into Latin, for what reason do we have Englisch?

subumbilical / umbilical incision
IMO you have to consider the whole phrase, not only the German word "Nabelgrube". Here you describe the start of a laparoscopy, and the English texts on this procedure must be the guideline for translation.
Mostly "small umbilical incision" is used, but there are also quite a number of documents showing "subumbilical incision" - in order to give the detail "untere Nabelgrube".
