A surgical device for use in a minimally invasive surgical procedure, comprising:

• one or more guides having a proximal and a distal end, the distal end comprising a plurality of distinct and independent patient-contacting surfaces formed to be substantially congruent with a plurality of corresponding anatomical features of a patient;
• a coupling member selectively attachable to the proximal end of the one or more guides;
• wherein the coupling member is configured to be selectively attached to at least a second guide;
• wherein the surgical device is configured to contact the corresponding anatomical features of a patient to ensure proper alignment and placement of the surgical device;
• and
• wherein the one or more guides, when coupled with the coupling member, are oriented in a pre-determined direction.
