What is the purpose of thoracoscopy?
The purpose of thoracoscopy is to visualize and evaluate the organs and structures within the thoracic cavity, such as the lungs, pleura, and mediastinum. It is a minimally invasive procedure that allows for diagnostic and therapeutic interventions, such as biopsies, drainage of fluid or air, and treatment of certain lung conditions. Thoracoscopy can help in the diagnosis and management of various thoracic diseases, including lung cancer, infections, and pleural effusion.

How does the hilum in the upper lungs work?
Hm. There is no such thing as the "hilum of the upper lung". The hilum (also called the hilus) is the part of the lung where the bronchi, pulmonary veins, and pulmonary arteries enter the lung. Each lung has its own hilum. Surrounding the hilum are lymph nodes that help drain fluid that has entered the lung. Since the hilum consists of so many different structures with distinct purposes, there's no easy way to discuss how the hilum "works". It's more of an anatomical entity rather than a functional one. Do you have a specific question about the function of one of the structures in the hilum?
