I’m not in US, but it’s possible that it be freely available in some parts of the world. If you can post another link or an abstract (or send me a copy), that will help.

The recurrence rate is dependent on multiple factors.
A young healthy male has a low recurrence rate:

But if you operate on an obese, smoker, on steroids the hernia will recur no matter what operation is done.
