 | There is a strong desire for continuity and excision is often seen as a way of counteracting female education and protecting against the sexual freedom that is in danger of undermining the family. |
| Excision is unknown in the Gulf states, except for Oman. |
| Sergeant Sanon was called to a village where a woman had an excision when she was four or five months pregnant: neighbours had been afraid the operation might kill the child. |
| Bundling of Lesion Excision and Repair Procedures (531 words) |
| Excision is reported as full-thickness (through the dermis) removal of a lesion including margins, and including simple (non-layered) closure when performed. |
| Code selection is determined by measuring the greatest clinical diameter of the apparent lesion plus that margin required for complete excision (lesion diameter plus the most narrow margins required equals the excised diameter), before the excision is made. |
| Billing for the excision of a benign lesionwith a lesion diameter greater than 0.5 cm or the excision of malignant lesion of any size does not include the service for intermediate or medically necessary complex repairs CPT codes 12031-12057. |
