reoperating
Cutting in twice
Reoperating is performing a surgical operation again, typically because the initial surgery was unsuccessful, complications arose, or the condition recurred.
The surgeon recommended reoperating to remove the remaining tumor tissue.
The term appears almost exclusively in medical contexts.
