The physician closed the edges of an incision and is there a CPT® code for it

The physician performed: 46083 Incision of thrombosed hemorrhoid, external
he also placed "2" 4-0 nylon sutures to close wound edges and packed the wound with sterile 4x4 gauze.

Is there a separate CPT® code for performing the use of the sutures to close the wound edges?
