German term or phrase: falsche Operationshöhe

This comes from a text on spinal surgery. Does this mean operating on the wrong part/segment of the spine?
Context: Wichtige Ursachen für diese Beschwerdebilder stellen die postoperative Instabilität sowie das postoperative Rezidiv dar. Als weitere Ursachen können eine Enge des Rezessus lateralis, die epidurale Fibrose, eine Arachnoiditis, ein Facettensyndrom, eine falsche Operationshöhe sowie die Operationstechnik genannt werden. Die postoperativ veränderte Mobilität des Bewegungssegmentes stellt einen wesentlichen Faktor für die Entstehung postoperativer Beschwerden dar
