This procedure closes a wound on the scalp, arm, or leg using a repair technique that goes beyond simple stitching, such as layered closure, extensive cleaning, or reshaping of the wound edges to support the best possible healing and appearance. It applies to a medium-length wound in these areas. Complex repairs are typically used for deeper, more irregular, or more heavily contaminated wounds than a standard repair.
