Doc says deviated septum surgery with removal of polyps/cysts and he wants to enlarge the opening to my sinuses- why enlarge the openings?

Better Drainage: Performing sinus surgery to open up the blocked sinuses, while fixing a deviated septum at the same time will allow the sinuses to more effectively drain and clear the mucus. A septoplasty and surgery to open and drain the sinuses will allow better airflow, reduce the sensation of nasal obstruction and help to decrease the frequency of sinus infections.

Sinus surgery: If the sinus opening is larger then there is less likelihood of the polyps returning.

Sinus surgery?: if you have recurrent sinusitis, you may be a candidate for sinus surgery. Be sure to have your nose evaluated by a board certified otolaryngologist.
