Overview
The treatment of hepatitis B does not involve surgical procedures. However, among patients with advanced liver damage secondary to hepatitis B or liver failure in fulminant hepatitis, liver transplantation may be beneficial. Surgery might also be indicated in cases of complications from chronic hepatitis B, such as hepatocellular carcinoma.[1][2]
