The Purpose of the paper is to explore the application of monopolar low-temperature plasma knife in unilateral breast-conserving surgery. Forty patients with breast cancer admitted to First People's Hospital of Nantong from April 2023 to August 2023 were selected. They were randomly divided into a control group and an experimental group, with 20 cases in each group. The control group underwent surgery using a high-frequency electric knife, while the experimental group underwent surgery using a monopolar low-temperature plasma knife. The clinical indicators of the two groups were compared, including operative time, intraoperative blood loss, postoperative 24-hour drainage volume, duration of axillary drainage tube placement, intraoperative incidence of secondary vascular injury, postoperative wound healing, and incidence of postoperative complications. Results were as follows. The operative time and duration of axillary drainage tube placement in the experimental group were shorter than those in the control group, P<0.05. The intraoperative blood loss and postoperative 24-hour drainage volume in the experimental group were less than those in the control group, P<0.05. The experimental group had a lower incidence of intraoperative secondary vascular injury than the control group, P<0.05. The postoperative wound healing in the experimental group was better than that in the control group, P<0.05. The experimental group had a lower incidence of postoperative complications than the control group, P<0.05. It is concluded that the application of a monopolar low-temperature plasma knife in breast cancer-modified radical mastectomy can simplify the surgical procedure, reduce operative time and intraoperative blood loss, facilitate early removal of drainage tubes, shorten the tube retention time, improve patients' quality of life, and is worthy of adoption and application.
