reintervention
Another medical intervention
Reintervention is a second or subsequent intervention, typically in medicine.
When an initial procedure fails to achieve lasting results or complications arise, reintervention becomes necessary: The stent failed and reintervention was required within six months.
The term appears in surgical contexts, cardiology, and discussions of repeat military or diplomatic action.
