Brief Answer: no Detailed Answer: there is no medication or natural solution to re-build the pancreas. Your dad probably got a severe case of pancreatitis, possibly what we call "necrotizing pancreatitis" based on the little information provided. Pancreatitis can sometimes present with organ failure ending up in the ICU for a long period of time. There is no medication or any way to help the pancreas recover faster. Pancreatitis is basically a major burn to the pancreas, and for example it would be the same as a "skin burn", it just takes time for the burn to heal, depending on how bad the burn was. The same with the pancreas. The only "treatment" is aggressive hydration through the vein, and bowel rest until your dad is clinically improved and ready to take nutrition by mouth. Complications from pancreatitis need to be picked up early, such as infections, fluid collections, etc. As the doctor may have told, his survival probabilities were low, but not impossible, and if he is recovering that is a good sign. It may take weeks to months for the pancreas to recover from such a bad pancreatitis.
