Introduction Penile refracture is an exceedingly rare event, with very few published studies. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first documented case in the literature of penile fracture with 3 same-site recurrences. Aims To describe the case of a 25-year-old Caucasian man with recurrent penile fracture ultimately treated with resuture and patch reinforcement. Methods Patient history (clinical and surgical) and literature review. Results After the 3rd same-site recurrence, patch reinforcement over the sutured area was performed. The patient had an uneventful recovery and no recurrences to date. Conclusion There is no evidence indicating the superiority of non-absorbable sutures. Bovine pericardium reinforcement over the sutured area was used to minimize the chance of another recurrence. More studies are necessary to investigate its safety and efficacy in this scenario.
