Sinus surgery

Just been told that I need FESS surgery, which I believe is an acronym for Facial Endoscope Sinus Surgery (well that's what the missus said and she's a nurse!); my understanding of the process is that the doc will put an endoscope up into the sinus cavity with a rotating cutter to remove lots of polyp growth (sounds nasty). Has anybody had this done and is there any risk to my medical cat, realistically? I am advised that the benefits will be great and er indoors was particularly impressed when they mentioned that it would help what she claims are some very strange noises emanating from me when I sleep (I don't know what she means cos try as I might, I never get to hear them)
