Hi,
The surgical procedure is relatively safe and post-operation recovery is fairly quick with drastic improvement in symptoms. However, it's common for polyps to grow back within few years of removal. For this reasons, some specialists prescribe nasal steroid sprays after surgery to prevent regrowth of polyps.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
