Collapsed lung after VATS surgery

Hi everyone, my name is Curt. I have had 3 collapsed lungs in the past 2 months. All of them had no know cause and were on my left lung. For the first collapse they just put in the chest tube and I was hopitalized for 2 days then I got to go home and rest. My lung collapsed again a little over a week after the first one. My surgeon then suggested the VATS surgery so I had that done the second time and in all honesty it wasn't that painful. I was in the hospital for about 4 days then I went home. I was told the chance for a recollapse was 1%. Well about a month later the same lung collapsed again, by this time I was very frusterated with the whole thing. So when I went to my doctor with the x-ray he was in shock, but seemed to think that it would heal on its own, I don't know how he could tell but I was willing to try because I didnt want another tube again. After about a week back to the doctor and my lung actually looked almost back to normal. then a few days later I went back again and my lung was fully re-inflated, so there was no leak thank god. But I am wondering how it even collapsed again anyways? my doctor didnt know and I have no idea, I just woke up in the night and could tell it was collapsed. I feel fine now, I just want to know if anyone else has had a similar experience and maybe an explanation on how it collapsed again after the VATS surgery? I would love to hear your stories and experiences as well. I am a healthy 19 year old male, I dont smoke or drink or anything. never have. Thank you so much!.
