The invention relates to a mandibular resection template (1) comprising a central component (2) 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 cutting tool guide portions (3) are present at the central component (2), a positioning aid (4) being provided between the two or more cutting tool guide portions (3) in order to obtain a spatially correct orientation of the mandibular resection template (1) with respect to the jawbone.
