An apparatus for holding a body tissue in a desired orientation includes a first leg and a second leg. The first leg has longitudinally spaced distal and proximal ends. The second leg is laterally spaced from the first leg, is adapted for lateral motion with respect to the first leg, and has longitudinally spaced distal and proximal ends. The distal ends of the first and second legs are for contacting the body tissue. The first leg includes a first guide post extending toward the second leg. The second leg includes a second guide post extending toward the first leg. The first and second guide posts telescopically engage to form a guide track. A first threaded post extends from the first leg toward the second leg, and a second threaded post extends from the second leg toward the first leg. A turnbuckle body connects the first and second threaded posts to form a turnbuckle assembly. The proximal ends of the first and second legs are movably connected by the guide track and the turnbuckle assembly. The distal ends of the first and second legs each include a suction pad adapted to apply suction pressure to the body tissue to hold the body tissue in the desired orientation. A method of holding a body tissue in a desired orientation is also described.
