I'm 90% sure that this is a readjustment of the spinal column, but I would appreciate it if someone would confirm for me. I've looked in all my medical dictionaries, databases, and I Googled "recalibrage canalaire", which only resulted in 2 pages of hits. Thanks in advance!

TREATMENT
The treatment of spinal canal stenosis may include the following:-
1. Epidural Injection (See separate page)
2. Lumbar Decompression
Lumbar Decompression:
When the spinal canal is narrow the term spinal stenosis is used. A spinal decompression removes pressure from the nerves by taking away thickened tissue and undercutting the bony structures to enlarge the spinal canal. The operation is done through an incision in the midline of the back and is often referred to as a "laminectomy". Figure 4 illustrates the amount of bone usually removed during a single level procedure of this type.
A decompression operation usually requires a week in hospital, after which you will be discharged home providing adequate support is available. In some cases a period of convalescence in a local private hospital will be required before returning home.
Up to eighty percent of people gain significant relief from their presenting symptoms, particularly those of buttock and leg discomfort. Surgery of this type will not however reverse the degenerative process that results in these symptoms and although low back pain is also usually improved, patients can expect to experience some low back discomfort following a procedure of this type.
Spinal canal stenosis may also result from one vertebra slipping forward on the one below. This occurs as a result from degeneration of the facet joints. This is referred to as a degenerative spondylolisthesis. In this situation it may be necessary to “stabilise” the spine by performing a fusion in conjunction with the “laminectomy”. This is where one vertebrae is joined to another by placing bone between the two vertebrae. This bone then heals in a way similar to the way fractures heal.

and undercutting laminectomy as suggested by Liz.
We describe an additional technique of undercutting laminectomy, which conserves stability while maximising decompression, and the results are presented. ...
