Postoperative antibiotic is necessary for HBV-related HCC patients to prevent postoperative infection, especially for those with higher albumin-bilirubin score, at BCLC stage B-C, or who underwent major hepatectomy. For HBV-related HCC patients, postoperative second-generation cephalosporins, or ceftriaxone for 3 days after surgery might be proper.
