With all the technological progress registered so far, hepatocellular carcinoma is still a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge, the optimal management being ensured only by a personalized attitude, offered by a multidisciplinary approach. Ultrasound plays an essential role in the guidelines for this neoplasm, the intraoperative application being mandatory to increase the survival of these patients, when the surgical approach is possible and indicated. This paper highlights the main indications for intraoperative ultrasound in the diagnosis and treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma, along with areas that have developmental potential.
