Would this be CPT 10080?

Procedure: Unroofing of pilonidal

Indications: male post status post excision and primary closure of pilondial in Feb. Part of the wound open and healed secondarily. Recently developed pain and purulent drainage from the area.

Findings: tiny pocket with granulation

Procedure: ...probe was placed into the opening and extended for about 5 mm. The overlying skin was incised with probing. A tiny pocket was identified and this was also unroofed and granulation cauterized. Bleeding points were stopped with cautery. Local anesthetic was infiltrated throughout the area and a dressing applied.

TIA
