To ablate again (as, for example, with repeated ablation of cardiac fibers for recurrent arrhythmias).

Etymology

By surface analysis, re- + ablate; perhaps by back-formation from reablation, although as with many such inflected pairs among classical compounds in biomedical vocabulary, the question of which inflected form came first is mainly of trivial interest rather than practical interest.
