Sewed or stiched

Hello,

Is either "sewed" or "stiched" correct in thr following sentences?

1. The doctor sewed the the injured man's cut with/by ten stiches.

2. The doctor stiched the man's cut with/by ten stiches.

PS. I'm sorry, I didn't know which one ispossible "with" or "by" that's why I included both in my sentences.

Regards,

JA
