reimplantation
Putting back surgically
Reimplantation is the surgical reattachment of a body part that has been severed or removed.
Surgeons may reimplant fingers, hands, or limbs after traumatic amputation: The team performed reimplantation of three severed fingers.
In dentistry, a tooth knocked out can sometimes be reimplanted in its socket.
The term also applies to repositioning tissue or organs within the body: reimplantation of the ureter.
