The CPT code 11960 is used for the insertion of tissue expanders for other than breast, which includes the scalp in this case. The procedure involves inserting the tissue expanders, closing the skin, and gradually increasing the volume of the expanders until a satisfactory outcome is achieved for repairing the scalp defect. The other options do not accurately describe the procedure performed on the scalp.References: AMA's CPT® Professional Edition (current year)

The outermost protective layer of the skin is called the epidermis. It serves as a barrier to protect the body against environmental elements, pathogens, and helps to retain moisture. The epidermis itself is composed of several sub-layers, with the stratum corneum being the outermost layer.References: ICD-10-CM (current year), Chapter 12: Diseases of the Skin and Subcutaneous Tissue (L00-L99).
