In group 1, 29 women with stress urinary incontinence underwent tension\u2010free vaginal tape procedures and in group 2, 28 continent women underwent other procedures for treatment of benign gynecologic disease and without urological problems. We used 3 indices of color histogram to quantify the vascularization and blood flow within a tissue block from the bladder neck to the urethral meatus and the periurethral area within 5 mm of the urothelium borders. The values of 3 indices of histogram, vascularization index, flow index and vascularization\u2010flow index, were analyzed.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:italic>Results.<\/jats:italic> Judging from the values of vascularization index, flow index and vascularization\u2010flow index generated in our study, significantly decreased periurethral vasculature was found in women with stress urinary incontinence and women in the postmenopausal status as compared with women in the continent group and those in the premenopausal status, respectively
