The Use of a Surgical Spoon in the Removal of Substernal Goiter.
Goiter with substernal extension is common, with a reported incidence of up to 20% in patients undergoing thyroidectomy. It has been shown that the vast majority of substernal goiters can be removed through a cervical incision.

Three‐year extraction experience of a novel substernal extravascular defibrillation lead in sheep
The extravascular implantable cardioverter‐defibrillator (EV ICD) with lead implantation in the substernal space may provide an alternative to transvenous and subcutaneous systems. This is the first‐reported chronic extraction experience for EV ICD leads.
