regrafted
Tissue reconnected surgically
Regrafted means grafted again.
In horticulture, a plant cutting or scion may be regrafted onto new rootstock if the first graft fails or a different variety is desired.
In medicine, tissue that didn't take may be regrafted: The surgeon regrafted skin from his thigh onto the burn site.
Figuratively, something separated and reattached has been regrafted.
