Pilonidal Cyst Treatment for Nevada Patients
When a pilonidal cyst keeps flaring no matter what has been tried in Nevada, a permanent fix is closer than it seems. At our Los Angeles center — a 70-minute flight from Las Vegas or a four-hour drive down I-15 — Dr. Yosef Nasseri and Dr. Moshe Barnajian perform an outpatient flap-based procedure with a near-zero recurrence rate.
Specialist Pilonidal Care for Nevadans
From the Las Vegas Valley to Reno, Sparks, and Carson City, we hear the same story: another flare, another drainage, another few weeks of relief before the deep tailbone ache creeps back — turning casino shifts, long hauls on the 95, and workouts into endurance tests.
Nevada patients at the Pilonidal Institute are cared for by two board-certified colorectal surgeons based at the Cedars-Sinai Medical Towers who treat pilonidal disease every single week. Your records are reviewed before you leave home, urgent cases get priority, and the entire visit is engineered around your travel window.
The centerpiece is our flap-based operation: complete excision of the cyst and sinus network, immediate reconstruction with a discreet, well-healing closure, and a near-zero recurrence rate. It is a same-day procedure — most Nevadans are cleared to head home within days.

Coordinate Your Visit
Call (310) 627-2330 or book online. We collect your history, photographs, and any operative notes from Nevada beforehand, then line up the consultation — and often the procedure itself — within one stay in Los Angeles.
Same-Day Flap Surgery
Using our published flap-based approach, the surgeons remove all diseased tissue and reconstruct the site with a cosmetic closure. You leave the surgery center that afternoon.
Fly Home, Heal Confidently
Pain is typically mild and there is no drawn-out open-wound packing. Travel back to Nevada is usually fine within days, and structured remote check-ins with photo review keep your recovery on track.
Every Stage of Pilonidal Disease

From Nevada to Pain-Free

Harry Reid International in Las Vegas offers nonstop flights landing in roughly 70 minutes, Reno-Tahoe has frequent direct service, and the I-15 drive from Vegas runs about four hours. Validated parking awaits when you arrive.
Patients come to us from across the Silver State — Las Vegas, Henderson, North Las Vegas, Summerlin, Paradise, Boulder City, Mesquite, Pahrump, Reno, Sparks, and Carson City — and our staff builds the schedule around your itinerary.
Questions From Nevada Patients
Can everything be done in a single visit from Nevada?
Usually, yes. Because your records and photos are reviewed before you travel, the consultation and the outpatient flap procedure can typically be scheduled inside one Los Angeles stay, with recovery monitored remotely after you return.
What if my cyst is acutely infected while I am still in Nevada?
Have the abscess drained locally without delay — pus collections need drainage, not just antibiotics, and traveling with a worsening infection is unsafe. Definitive flap surgery is then planned with us once things calm down.
When is it safe to travel back to Nevada after surgery?
Because the flap procedure is outpatient with a closed repair, most patients make the flight or the I-15 drive home within a few days, cushion in hand, and are back at desk work shortly after.
I already had pilonidal surgery in Las Vegas and it returned. Is revision possible?
Yes — failed prior repairs are exactly the kind of case this practice was built for. Forward your operative and wound-care records; the surgeons will study the old scar and anatomy, then plan a reconstruction designed not to fail twice.
Will my insurance work from Nevada?
We accept most PPO plans, including many carried by Nevada residents. Ring (310) 627-2330 and our staff will confirm your coverage before you commit to travel.
