Hello, I accidentally dropped my smartphone, a Mi Note 7, yesterday, and the power button is now entirely broken, making it impossible to turn on the device. Therefore, is it necessary to replace the external power button alone or also the full flex cable and other connecting accessories? Please advise.
Esta é uma boa pergunta?

@suratguy it all depends on the damage etc. but yes, it sounds like you need to replace the switch as well as the power flex. Check something like this video for the How-to. The button and the flex are available at places like this and many others.
While you replace those parts, take lots of pictures. Once you are done with it, take those pictures and create a guide for iFixit. That will help the next person that has the same problem as you do. It's easy and fun to create these guides. https://ifixit.com/Guide/new The iFixit community will appreciate this.

The flex cable holding the power button also has the volume up and down buttons so you'll be replacing those at the same time.
Should you prefer the iFixit-style step by step directions, there's a French site called SOSav that has a guide specifically for the job you want to do on your phone.

As @oldturkey03 has mentioned, it would still be cool for you to add an iFixit guide while you're in the process of doing your repair.

Power button is damaged

@sayyidah, does the previous answer not satisfy you? What further information to you need? You have everything you need to know to replace the power button, but if you want something else add pictures of the damage and explain what you are looking for.
