CPT for Helical sinus and tract ??

I have no procedure op report as this question was brought to me from a nurse and they are looking for a CPT code for prior authorization purposes.

The nurse is asking me what an appropriate CPT would be for "excision of left helical sinus and tract (which is actually the ear), would it be 69110?"

I am not sure CPT 69110 is specific enough but I cannot find any CPT code that seems to cover what they are doing. Plus honestly, I can’t even find what the helical sinus and tract even is.

I did keep coming across information stating to use the Benign excision codes 1144x. Which is what I am leaning towards but I am not sure that is correct.

I am at a loss with this, and would greatly appreciate some help with a CPT for this.

TIA
