French term or phrase:chirurgie de recours
From the research I've done, this seems to be advanced surgery after previous operations have failed, but I'm having trouble finding the exact term. The definitions for secondary and tertiary don't seem to match, but "reoperation" does seem a possibility as evidenced in the following, even though this refers to orthopedic surgery (I did find "reoperation" used for cancer surgery as well). Thanks in advance, Karen
La pose de prothèses de hanche et de genou concerne chaque année respectivement 110 000 et 35 000 patients, et constitue la principale activité des chirurgiens orthopédistes. Implantée par un spécialiste expérimenté, une prothèse de hanche a une durée de vie d'une quinzaine d'années au minimum, permettant à la plupart des opérés de retrouver mobilité et indépendance. Toutefois, le descellement de prothèse demeure la principale complication, certes rare, mais nécessitant une **réintervention** (reoperation). La plupart des cliniques classées dans le haut de notre palmarès développent plus particulièrement cette **chirurgie de recours** très délicate, réservée aux chirurgiens les plus adroits. Pour certains, cela représente jusqu'à 25 % de leur activité.

Mystery solved! I finally had the agency ask the client since there were two distinct possibilities and here's the response: "La « chirurgie de recours » se refère au transfert à un hopital de recours ; c'est-à-dire avec l’expertise ad hoc." But I also appreciate all the suggestions for the term's other meaning. Thank you! Karen 4 KudoZ points were awarded for this answer
j'ajouterais que la chirurgie de recours peut fort bien englober les réinterventions à la suite d'un échec/une complication de la 1re intervention, mais ne s'y limite pas.
For those who didn't see my answer to SJLD: "I think you might be right. They talk a lot about "organisations hospitalières interrégionales de recours" et also "soins de proximité" and here I'm translating "recours" as "referral," so "chirurgie de recours" might simply be shorthand for surgery performed at hospitals to which patients are referred outside their local area. It was confusing because there is indeed a type of cancer surgery called "chirurgie de recours." I also want to add this is a five-year plan written by a government agency.

Notes to answerer
Asker: Thanks for the answer, SJLD. The sentence with the term is in the discussion entry above; here it is again: "Structurer la chirurgie de recours et les plateaux techniques de radiologie interventionnelle et de cryobiologie." (This is a list of recommendations so there's not a lot of context.)
Asker: I think you might be right. They talk a lot about "organisations hospitalières interrégionales de recours" et also "soins de proximité" and here I'm translating "recours" as "referral," so "chirurgie de recours" might simply be shorthand for surgery performed at hospitals to which patients are referred outside their local area. It was confusing because there is indeed a type of cancer surgery called "chirurgie de recours."
2 hrs confidence:
last recource or last resort
Explanation: Even though the word last is not there in the French, I think that is the meaning. A difficult and risky surgery you try when all other efforts have failed.

I meant to say, "last resort surgery." "last recourse surgery" is used in English, but rarely. "Final resort surgery," is also used, but last is used most often by a google count.
Example sentence(s):
‘Last resort’ surgery holds promise for shoulder patients
It is important to note that surgical intervention for a TMJ problem is most often a last resort. Surgery is usually the last resort treatment.
Reference information: "Enfin, la chirurgie de recours comprend la chirurgie pelvienne lourde, les rares indications de greffe hépatique (hépato-carcinomes) ou pulmonaires (carcinomes bronchiolo-alvéolaires), les résections péritonéales étendues (pratiquées dans le service de chirurgie du CHLS)".
