      If it’s complete decapitation then I’m afraid that’s the end of that, no way to reattach! However, there is such a thing as internal decapitation, where your head stays attached to your body but the ligaments attaching your spine to your skull get detached, and that’s not always fatal: in fact, 70% of people survive internal decapitation and have their skulls reattached as it were. 🙂
