Would this be reported as a simple repair?
"Laceration Repair of of hand:I anesthetized the area with a local block. Excellent anesthesia was obtained. The wound was then cleansed and irrigated. I re-explored the wound and found no foreign body. I then ligated bleeding artery using 1 cutaneous suture of 3-0 vicryl in a figure 8 with excellent hemostasis. The wound was dressed with surgicel, xeroform and ace wrap. Total length 7.5 cm"
