Travis Barker is on the repair after his current medical scare.

“I went in for an endoscopy Monday feeling great. But after dinner, I developed excruciating pain and have been hospitalized ever since,” he composed on his InstagramStory “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.”

What is an endoscopy and how is it carried out?
During a endoscopy, medical professional passes an endoscope, or versatile tube with a cam, down a individual’s esophagus and into their stomach to take a look at the lining of their upper GI system. During the treatment, which is usually carried out under sedation, the doctor can eliminate little pieces of tissue for a biopsy, according to the National Institute of Health.
