The present invention relates to a mandibular resection template including a central component which is prepared for attachment to a segment, for example a symphysis segment of a jawbone, such as a mandible or maxilla. At least two separating tool guide portions are present at the central component, a positioning aid being provided between the two or more separating tool guide portions in order to obtain a spatially correct orientation of the mandibular resection template with respect to the jawbone.
