About Professor Steven Brown
Professor Steven Brown is a respected and very experienced Consultant General Surgeon specialising in colon, rectal and anal problems.
He learnt colonoscopy using Japanese techniques of minimal discomfort and performs most procedures without the need for sedation.
Whilst serving as a professor of surgery at University of Sheffield, he has established a leading regional centre for the treatment of faecal incontinence and constipation introducing many new techniques including sacral nerve stimulation, laparoscopic ventral rectopexy and repair for obstetric injury. He is also registered with the British Haemorrhoid Centre as a regional expert in the HALO procedure and am involved in training other consultants.
Professor Brown also has an interest in inflammatory bowel disease and runs joint clinics and ward rounds with gastroenterologists, regularly offering minimal access surgery for Crohn's disease and Ulcerative Colitis. I carry out pouch procedures- offering a procedure that avoids the need for a stoma.
He is a skilled laparoscopic surgeon, performing bowel cancer procedures that allow enhanced recovery and rapid return to normal activities for his patients. He also offers the best treatments available for anal fissures and fistulas including anal fistula plugs, Botox injection, pilonidal surgery, and advancement flaps - all with same-day discharge.
Professor Brown wrote the national guidelines for management of fistulas in Crohn's as well as for the treatment of inflammatory Bowel Disease.

Professor Steven Brown is professional, friendly, and kind with patients. He offers clear explanations for many conditions and treatments, such as good inguinal hernia repairs and complex laparoscopic sigmoid colectomies. Patients value his listening, feel at ease, and are confident in his advice and positive outcomes. He earns high regard for managing bowel disorders and various general surgery needs.
A short telephone consultation. As always Prof Brown responded clearly to my 2 main questions and concerns. He also informed me of his immediate schedule and, having subsequently spoken to the member of staff he mentioned, I now have a much clearer indication of the likely timescale for my required surgery. Overall, an excellent and reassuring consultation and chat.
Claremont is an excellent facility and a pleasure to visit. Prof Brown understood my needs ( naturally as an expert and highly regarded professional) and was able to advise and put my mind at rest. He provided me with all I needed to go forward and contact my provider. Many thanks.
Prof Brown was professional, courteous and friendly. He took the time to explain the process and procedure in a simple way. From first consultation to after the operation I understood the problem, the treatment options and what to expect before during and after the procedure.
Very welcoming, pleasant, knowledgeable and gave me excellent advice as always.
Great guy, great advice great health outcome. Couldn’t be happier.
Everyone did everything they could to make me feel as comfortable as possible.
It is 7 weeks since my operation and I have had no problems at all with my hernia repair. Everything went just as I'd hoped. Many thanks to Professor Brown.
Professor Brown immediately put me at ease. He has such an approachable, friendly manner whilst still retaining his professionalism. His explanations also were easy to understand. Sometimes, especially for us older ladies, we feel more vulnerable and less confident but Professor Brown has a superb manner.
Great communication throughout the experience. I was looked after extremely well during my visit.
