Caused by allergy: While FESS removes the polyps it does not fix the underlying cause of the polyps which in most cases is allergic rhinitis. You have to get rid of the allergies or at least get them controlled before the polyps will stop forming. Best short term therapy is a intranasal steroid spray like Flonase, Nasonex, (mometasone) or a similar one. Best long term treatment is allergy immunotherapy. See an allergist.
