You used the opposite rearrangement trick, leaving the _final_ letters undisturbed.
(Did you notice that my clue also spoke of "deposit near," which is a reasonable definition of justaposition? Not everything has a double meaning, but many things do.)

GUTTER SPINE - a particualr kind of back surgery Maybe instead it's a form of bookbinding, as opposed to wraparound spine?
If you say so. Actually I prefer
GUTTER PINES which is what you get growing up on the edge of your roof if you don't clean the cones out of your downspouts often enough. Up here we're more likely to get gutter maples, though.
You'll notice I didn't boldface these, because I don't pose either of them as serious candidates...
