Suggest Treatment For A Hole In The Lung

Our grandaughter{Age 22} had a collasped L lung. Spontaneous! Was in the hospital for 4 days. My husband was to see yesterday and she told him that they said she had a hole in her lung and that it was probably a birth defect. Can that be true,and what do they do about that?
