INTRODUCTION: Minimally invasive oesophagectomy is one of the options in the armamentarium of a modern surgeon when faced with treating oesophageal cancer. Trinidad and Tobago has successfully treated a patient using this method. This case report adds to the rich surgical history in the Caribbean. CASE PRESENTATION: Our patient presented with progressive dysphagia, and after being worked up was diagnosed with oesophageal cancer. He underwent neoadjuvant chemotherapy and had a minimally invasive McKeown oesophagectomy done by a fellowship trained, advanced laparoscopic oesophageal and gastric surgeon. CONCLUSION: The patient had an uneventful recovery and was tumor free with excellent quality of life at 4 years, showing that the Caribbean is keeping up with the rest of the surgical world.
