Wiki Purse String Closure

Create Wiki
According to AMA CPT Asst (Feb 2007 page 10), a purse string is typically reported as a simple repair (codes 12001-12018). They fruther state that if extensive instrumentation or undermining is needed, intermediate repair may be reported (codes 12031-12057).

It is therefore important to review the medical record documentation before you determine whether it is a simple or an intermeditate repair.

I hope this is helpful.
