Data were extracted from electronic medical records, including patient demographics, clinical history, surgical interventions, parenteral nutrition (PN) duration, and long-term outcomes. The BEAR protocol incorporated a multidisciplinary approach with structured intestinal rehabilitation, hepato-protective PN strategies, and staged surgical interventions to promote enteral autonomy.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A total of 20 premature neonates with SBS were analyzed, with a median gestational age of 28 weeks and a median birth weight of 860g. Necrotizing enterocolitis was the primary cause of SBS in 90% of cases. Of the cohort, 80% successfully weaned off PN, achieving enteral autonomy at a median corrected age of 19.7 months. Seven patients underwent serial transverse enteroplasty (STEP), with 6\/7 successfully transitioning to full enteral feeding. The study demonstrated favorable survival rates and reduced PN-associated complications.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The BEAR protocol provides a structured and effective approach to intestinal rehabilitation in premature neonates with SBS, facilitating early enteral autonomy and minimizing long-term PN dependence.
