Do not let that get in the way of enjoying what, IMO, is King's Grand Opus.
No Roland does not get healed or made whole. But he is not meant to. In all things he was right-handed (writing, etc.) but in gunplay both hands were equally adept and equally deadly. Even his diminished hand still plays a role.
Furthermore, his right hand is replaced, symbolically, with those of his Ka-Tet. Trust me, I was also upset way back when I read that part, but the years and thousands of pages show that it is a required act in the Gunslinger's world.
