The cut-off of three patients treated yearly used in our study was defined after statistical analysis of different cut-offs. A multidisciplinary intestinal rehabilitation program is significantly more frequent in group B than in group A (85 and 53%, respectively; p\u2009=\u20090.009). Considering the primary surgical management of multiple intestinal atresia and congenital ultra-short bowel with jejunal atresia, primary surgical strategies to optimize bowel length are more often used in group B than group A (p\u2009=\u20090.09 and p\u2009=\u20090.04, respectively). A minimum of one intestinal lengthening procedure every 2 to 3 years is significantly more frequent in group B than group A (95 and 45%, respectively; p\u2009=\u20090.0013). Among the strategies used to promote intestinal adaptation, group B (35%) uses significantly more often glucagon-like peptide 2 analogs than group A (10%) (p\u2009=\u20090.02).<\/jats:p><jats:p>Conclusion\u2003Based on our survey, a minimum number of SBS patients treated yearly is required to manage this challenging disease according to up-to-date medical and surgical strategies. However, whatever their level of expertise is in managing SBS, most of pediatric surgeons are involved in the primary surgery. Medical education programs about SBS should be more largely available to pediatric surgeons.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1055\/s-0040-1721040","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,11,16]],"date-time":"2020-11-16T23:51:30Z","timestamp":1605570690000},"page":"008-013","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["European
