Brief Answer:
Can get pancreatitis

Detailed Answer:
Hello

Thanks for the query

Yes, you can get pancreatitis with only part of your pancreas being present. However it will be less severe in nature. More than anything pancreatitis occurs when there are still active pancreatic cells present in your organ.

I hope I was of help, if you have any further queries please get back to me
