spinal fusion

"dese" is a colloquial expression for "spondylodese" http://66.102.9.104/search?q=cache:buBEs4jddyMJ:www.hamlet.d...

Moreover, in Gyldendal Medicinsk Odontologisk dictionary, I have found "spondylodese" translated into "spinal fusion" in English.

According to the same dictionary, "spinal fusion" is an operative procedure to accomplish bony ankylosis between two or more vertebrae.
