The damage to your pancreas can't be undone, but with the proper care, you should be able to manage many of your symptoms. Treatment for pancreatitis can include medication, endoscopic therapies, or surgery.
damage can't be reversed (only in in moderate/light acute pancreatitis at best , ercp is dangerous procedure and should only be used in treatment when it is the only way, if there is blockade , to avoid further damage ERCP is likely needed , some alternative study suggest using citric acid or malic acid injection to remove the stone if it is made of calcium(chelation)

Best video out there!!
Can the opening of Ducts or removing of the blockade through ERCP or MRCP reverse the damage ?

is surgery the right treatment for chronic pancreatitis?
only if it is required for complication(absess/pseudocyst ...) that require it , or ERCP for blockade
