Completing all the formal requirement Dr Zilinsky was accepted as a fellow to the American Academy of Mohs Surgery -  ACMS (www.mohscollege.org/)

Uppon returning to the Sheba medical center in 1989  Dr Zilinsky has founded  The Mohs Unit as part of the Department of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery . It was the first such unit in Israel and in the whole middle east. Since 1989 the unit has performed successfully thousands of Mohs operations . The fact that the unit is part of the Plastic surgery department added another dimension to the reconstruction of the defects created after the tumor eradication.

 Mohs Micrographic Surgery, an advanced treatment procedure for Skin Cancer, offers the highest potential for cure, even if the Skin Cancer has been previously treated unsuccessfully. This is a state-of-the-art treatment in which the physician serves as a surgeon, a pathologist, and a reconstructive surgeon. The procedure relies on the accuracy of a microscope to trace and ensure removal of Skin Cancer down to its roots. This procedure allows the physician to see beyond the visible disease and to precisely identify and remove the entire tumor, leaving healthy tissue unharmed and the minimal possible defect. Mohs Micrographic Surgery is most often used in treating two of the most common forms of skin cancer: basal cell carcinoma and Squamous cell carcinoma, and also other forms of skin cancer.

The cure rate for Mohs Micrographic Surgery is the highest of all treatments for Skin Cancer-up to 99 percent even if other forms of treatment have failed. This procedure, the most exact and precise method of tumor removal, minimizes the chance of re-growth and lessens the potential for scarring or disfigurement.
