Arm 2
Arm Type
Experimental
Sham Comparator
Arm Label
Postoperative antimicrobial prophylaxis
No postoperative antimicrobial prophylaxis
Arm Description
Patients will receive postoperative antimicrobial prophylaxis for 3 days in 24 hours after hepatectomy.
Patients will receive no antibiotics after hepatectomy, unless the clinicians suggest he/she need antibiotics to treat or prevent infection.
Outcomes
Primary Outcome Measures
30-day postoperative infection rate
the incidence rate of postoperative infection occurred in 30 days after surgery, including surgical site infections, distant infection or infection from unknown sources
Secondary Outcome Measures
Surgical site infection rate
the incidence rate of surgical site infection, including infections of the incision or organ or space that occur after surgery.
Postoperative complication rate
the incidence rate of postoperative complications, grading as Clavien-Dindo grades
Severe infection rate
the incidence rate of postoperative complications over grade 3
Distant infection rate
the incidence rate of distant infections, including respiratory system infection, urinary system infection, catheter related infections or sepsis (defined as fever (temperature ≥38 ℃) or elevated white blood cell (> 10 x10^9 / L) accompanied by sputum, urine, catheter secretions, or blood culture positive.

5. Study Description
Brief Summary
This trial is a multi-center, double-blinded, randomized (1:1) clinical trial. The aim is to compare the postoperative infection rate between the 3 days postoperative AMP group and the placebo group in HCC patients undergoing hepatectomy.
Detailed Description
This trial includes two phase. The first phase is the internal pilot study to explore the expulsion rate and recruited population. The second phase is the main phase III trial.
