Morphology
The noun phrase is transparently built from 'bring' + 'close' + 'together' and literally denotes moving parts nearer or into contact; a learner who knows the constituent words can directly infer this action. Although used in a medical context, the composition follows normal English verb + particle patterns and is cross-linguistically intuitive, so a B1 learner would understand it.
Etymology
Bringing close together The noun bringing close together describes the simple action of bringing two edges close together, like folding a torn cloth and sewing it. Surgeons do the same with stitches to join wound edges, so the phrase means 'joining parts so they can heal'.
