reattachments

Surgical limb restorations

Reattachments are instances of attaching something again after it has been separated or detached.

The term appears most often in medical contexts—surgeons perform reattachments of severed limbs, retinas, or tendons: The reattachment of his finger was successful.

More broadly, it can describe reconnecting anything previously joined: emotional reattachments after estrangement.
