Operаtive RepоrtDiаgnоsis: Bаsal Cell CarcinоmaProcedure: Mohs micrographic excision of skin cancer.Site: Face left lateral upper canthus eyelidPre-operative size: 0.8 cmIndications for surgery: Area of high recurrence, area of functional and/or cosmetic importance. Discussed procedure including alternative therapy, expectations, complications, and the possibility of a larger or deeper defect than expected requiring significant reconstruction. Patient’s questions were answered. Local anesthesia 1:1 Marcaine and 1% Lidocaine with Epinephrine. Sterile prep and drape.Stage 1: The clinically apparent lesion was marked out with a small rim of normal appearing tissue and excised down to subcutaneous fat level with a defect size of 1.2 cm. Hemostasis was obtained and a pressure bandage placed. The tissue was sent for slide preparation. Review of the slides show clear margins for the site.Repair: Complex repair. Repair of Mohs micrographic surgical defect. Wound margins were extensively undermined in order to mobilize tissue for closure. Hemostasis was achieved. Repair length 3.4 cm. A layered closure was performed. Multiple buried absorbable sutures were placed to re-oppose deep fat. The epidermis and dermis were re-opposed using monofilament sutures. There were no complications; the patient tolerated the procedure well. Post-procedure expectations (including discomfort management), wound care and activity restrictions were reviewed. Written Instructions with urgent contact numbers given, follow-up visit and suture removal in 3-5 daysWhat CPT® and ICD-10-CM codes are reported?
