Patient's stoma was bleeding and my Dr. performed suture ligation. What would be the best CPT code for this?

Short note from the Dr.: SUture ligation performed at 6:00 position of bleeding from stoma
ligation performed with 3-0 prolene x 1
good hemostasis

please help :confused:
 
I was wondering if CPT code 44620 is the correct code since it says "closure of enterestomy, large or small instestine."

Any thoughts?
