re-examination

Looking at again

Re-examination is looking at something again, usually more carefully or critically than before.

A doctor might order a re-examination of test results; a court might allow re-examination of a witness.

The word implies the first examination was incomplete or that circumstances have changed: The new evidence prompted a re-examination of the case.
