Yes, Yodie had laser surgery done on it and she came through it fine. By the time I rescued her, the polyp was quite visible, though. It was growing out of her ear and down into her throat and was literally strangling her because it was the size of a silver dollar. She was so thin because she couldn't eat and could barely swallow. The problem w/polyps is that they usually grow back but Yoda's surgery was over 2 years ago and she's checked regularly and so far the polyp hasn't grown back. My vet instinctively gave it a tug and he feels that he got the root of it. Polyps aren't always easy to detect but, as I said, in Yoda's case hers was because it had grown to such proportions. It can also grow into the sinus cavities and/or affect the sinuses to the point of causing breathing problems, too. I really hope your kitty doesn't have one but if she does, the sooner it's removed the better. Not all vets are qualified to do it. My vet is a specialist in that type of surgery; I lucked out there. If you have any further questions, please feel free to PM me.
