<p>Travis Barker shook fans on Tuesday when news broke of his hospitalization. At the time, there were few details about why doctors kept him at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center. However, per <em>TMZ, </em>his wife, Kourtney Kardashian, remained by his side the entire time. By Wednesday, the reason spilled to the media. Travis was undergoing <a href="https://dev.theshaderoom.com/travis-barker-hospitalized-for-pancreatitis-following-colonoscopy/">treatment for pancreatitis</a> following an endoscopy. Now, it appears the damage caused was at the hands of doctors.</p>
<h5 style="text-align: center;"><strong>Travis Explains Why Doctors Hospitalized Him</strong></h5>
<p>Travis shared an Instagram post on Saturday detailing what happened this week. He said he had a scheduled endoscopy on Monday, which he attended feeling &#8220;great.&#8221; For those unaware, doctors use endoscopies to examine the interior of hollow organs or cavities, such as the digestive tract.</p>
<p>At dinner, Travis &#8220;developed excruciating pain.&#8221; Medical professionals hospitalized him that same day. Apparently, the endoscopy led to the discovery of a &#8220;very small polyp&#8221; and its subsequent removal&#8211;and this is where the issues began.</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;During the endoscopy, I had a very small polyp removed right in a very sensitive area, usually handled by specialists, which unfortunately damaged a critical pancreatic drainage tube. This resulted in severe life-threatening pancreatitis.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
