Evaluation of the effectiveness of bilateral sphenopalatine ganglion block was planned. Patients will be divided into 2 equal groups (36 patients). After the induction of general anesthesia, one group (Group: 1) will be administered 8mg dexamethasone and 10mg bupivacaine submucosal, the other group (group:2) will be administered 4 cc saline. aspects will be evaluated.
