There are three levels of surgical pathology in CPT (Current Procedural Terminology): Level I (simple examination), Level II (intermediate examination), and Level III (complex examination). Each level corresponds to the complexity of the pathology services provided by the pathologist.
Level IV surgical pathology gross and microscopic exam includes biopsies. These biopsies are studied by several different doctors of medicine to rule out malignancy.

A removed uterus with prolapse would typically be classified as a benign surgical pathology. Prolapse occurs when pelvic support structures weaken, leading to the descent of the uterus into the vaginal canal. While it can cause significant symptoms and may require surgical intervention, it does not involve malignant changes or cancerous tissue. Thus, the pathology remains non-malignant in nature.
There are six levels.
