reimplant
Put back in
To reimplant is to implant again—to reattach or reinsert something that was removed or displaced.
The term appears most often in medical contexts: surgeons reimplant severed fingers, dentists reimplant knocked-out teeth, and doctors reimplant tissue or organs.
The surgeon successfully reimplanted the patient's thumb after the accident.
