    "description": "A wound closure that takes more than a single row of stitches: the deeper layer under the skin is sutured first, then the skin surface is closed on top. This code applies to the scalp, underarms, trunk, arms, and legs, excluding the hands and feet, and to a mid-length wound rather than the shortest ones. Wounds shorter or longer than this band map to neighbouring codes in the same family.",
