Summary:The invention relates to a positioning aid for surgical procedures, comprising a support system (10) and a guide (12). The support system (10) consist of a support plate (16), which is provided with a recess (18), and supports (20). The support plate (16) can be secured to a cranial bone (14) via the supports (20) over an operating field for the surgical procedure. The guide (12) comprises a guide plate (24) which can be connected to the support plate (16) in a play-free manner and which comprises a guide opening (26). The guide opening (26) is arranged and oriented in the guide plate (24), which consists of a blank, in an individualized manner according to coordinates ascertained in advance. The central longitudinal axis of the guide opening (26) matches a trajectory for accessing the operating field for the surgical procedure when the support system (10) and the guide (12) are assembled and the support system (10) is secured to the cranial bone (14).
