debridement in repairs

Is debridement included in the repair codes (simple, intermediate, complex) ? In the guidelines it is noted that simple wound exploration is included but I am not sure if "debridement" is a part of simple wound exploration or should I use additional codes from the medicine section for the debridement?
Thanks
