I would really appreciate some help in coding this following op note:
Op. Procedure: Excision of right paralabial chronic folliculitis
After instillation of .5 xylocaine with epinephrine around the area, the patient's chronic folliculitis was elliptically excised and removed. Hemostasis was obtained with electrocautery. Deep tissues were reapproximated with 2-0 Vicryl. Skin was reapproximated with running subcuticular 4-0 Moncyrl.
I am really unsure how to code this. It is not something we do often. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advace
