How curable is pancreatitis?
Currently there is no complete cure available for pancreatitis. Unfortunately, in the majority of cases, the pancreas is not able to repair itself and return to normal functional capacity after damage has occurred. The level to which a patient can recover depends on a number of factors such as when the diagnosis is made, the extent of damage done when diagnosis is made, the success of surgery if it is performed and how well the patient commits to new dietary and lifestyle regimes. It also depends on the cause of the pancreatic attack.
