Question regarding lung surgery

I have a question that you may not know how to answer. I had surgery on my right lung on Feb. 26th. I developed an air leak that is baffling my Surgeon. Something rare that he has never seen nor his Associates. Do you know what causes this and how it is fixed? I see him again on May 26th and a CT scan will be scheduled a week before. Thank you for your time.

@rocky0814, welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. We are all patients here. Perhaps someone else has had a similar air leak.

Have you considered getting a second opinion?
