I was wondering how would you code a partial complex closure.
Doc excised an infected cyst from right side of face, deep dissection done, approximately 3 cm area was debrided with help of scissors and metallic curette all around the cavity. the cavity was irrigated with diluted hydrogen peroxide solution. Hemostasis was achieved with help of bovie. Closure was started medially, it was closed with interrupted prolene suture and lateral aspect was left open for drainage and it was packed with iodoform gauze. Then dressing was done.

Not sure how to code closure?

Thanks
