Gaston Labat's textbook Regional Anesthesia: Its Technique and Clinical Application was one of the earliest regional anesthesia texts, and certainly one of the most successful. Although Dr. Labat was working on a third edition at the time of his death, its fate and the reason for a more than 30-year delay in publishing a third edition have often been speculated upon. A search of the John S. Lundy Archive revealed communications between Dr. Lundy and Labat's widow which help explain the delay. Further searches into the collections of John Adriani, MD, help explain how he came to be the one to publish the long-awaited third edition.
加斯顿·拉巴特的教科书《区域麻醉：技术与临床应用》是最早的区域麻醉教材之一，无疑也是最成功的教材之一。尽管拉巴特博士在去世时正在撰写第三版，但该书的命运以及第三版推迟出版30多年的原因一直备受猜测。对约翰·S·伦迪档案的搜索揭示了伦迪博士与拉巴特遗孀之间的通信，这有助于解释延迟的原因。对医学博士约翰·阿德里亚尼藏品的进一步搜索，有助于解释他是如何成为出版期待已久的第三版的人的。
