Results: This practical guideline consists of 112 recommendations with short commentaries for the management and treatment of benign chronic intestinal failure, including home parenteral nutrition and its complications, intestinal rehabilitation, and intestinal transplantation. Conclusion: This practical guideline gives guidance to health care providers involved in the management of patients with chronic intestinal failure.
