Abstract
Provided herein is an IVRO surgical guide for positioning a cutting guide on a mandibular ramus such that the mandibular ramus is clamped between a hooked distal end and a slidable component having a curved claw. The cutting guide is placed at a predetermined distance from the posterior edge of the ramus at the mid-waistline of the mandibular ramus along a curvilinear shaft in contact with the lateral surface of the ramus. The cutting guide can accommodate a saw for performing the osteotomy.
