Provider indicates 'scar release'

" extensive scarring of his right leg after fasciotomy and closure"
"operation attempting to perform limited incision scar release with
tenolysis knives to break up adhesions from the skin to the
underlying muscle and fascia"
" 4 stab incisions along the length of the scars"
"measured 29 cm in length total"
"used tenolysis knives to break up subcutaneous
scars to the underlying muscle and fashion and I performed this adhesiolysis with the
tenolysis knives over this entire surface area."
"stab incisions were closed "

Would this be 131xx series or 27681? It doesn't seem like a formal 'scar release'.
