reattachment

Fixing back on

Reattachment is the act of attaching something again after it has been separated or detached.

The term appears most often in medical contexts, where surgeons perform reattachment of severed limbs, fingers, or retinas: The reattachment of his thumb was successful.

More broadly, it describes reconnecting anything that came loose: reattachment of the cable restored the signal.
