Patient presents to the operative suite with a biopsy proven squamous cell carcinoma of the left ankle. A decision was made to remove the lesion and apply a split thickness skin graft on the site. The lesion was excised as drawn and documented as measuring 2.4 cm with margins. Using the Padgett dermatome, the surgeon harvested a split-thickness skin graft from the left thigh, which was meshed 1.5 x 1 and then inserted into the ankle wound using a skin stapler. Xeroform bolster was then placed on the skin graft using Xeroform and 4-0 nylon. The lower extremity was wrapped with bulky cast padding and double Ace wrap. The skin graft donor site was dressed with OpSite. The surgeon noted the skin graft measured 9 cm² in total. What CPT® and ICD-10-CM codes are reported?
