Dr. Yehonatan Kaplan performs Mohs micrographic surgery at Herzliya Medical Center (HMC), one of Israel's leading private hospitals. HMC provides a state-of-the-art surgical environment with dedicated pathology services for real-time tissue examination during Mohs procedures.
Herzliya Medical Center (HMC) is one of Israel's leading private hospitals, and it is where Dr. Yehonatan Kaplan performs Mohs micrographic surgery for patients with skin cancer. The hospital's dedicated pathology laboratory enables real-time examination of tissue margins during the Mohs procedure, ensuring that every trace of cancerous tissue is identified and removed while preserving the maximum amount of healthy skin.
Mohs surgery at HMC is particularly suited for skin cancers located in cosmetically and functionally sensitive areas such as the face, nose, eyelids, ears, and lips. The procedure combines surgical excision with immediate microscopic analysis, achieving cure rates of up to 99% for primary basal cell carcinoma (BCC) and squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). Following tumor removal, Dr. Kaplan performs reconstruction at the same session to restore both function and appearance, using techniques such as local flaps and skin grafts.
Clalit health fund members can access Mohs surgery at HMC through Form 17 approval. The Form 17 process involves a referral from your dermatologist or primary care physician, followed by submission to Clalit for authorization. Once approved, the surgery is fully covered under your Clalit membership. Our clinic staff assists patients with the Form 17 application process and can help expedite approvals. Patients with other health funds or private insurance are also welcome. The entire Mohs procedure, from initial layer removal through reconstruction, is typically completed in a single day, allowing patients to return home the same day.
