"of" might be okay, too. In laparoscopic surgeries, the doc use a needle, in this case the Veress, to insufflate the abdomen (fill it with air) so that he/she has room to look around in there. The peritoneum fills with the air ("pneumo"). They keep an eye on the pressure so they don't add more than can be handled (like filling up a balloon with air or a car tire--there are gauges to keep track of that, too).

Into or In to?
"Into is a preposition that has many definitions, but they all generally relate to direction.
On the other hand, in by itself can be an adverb, preposition, or adjective (and to by itself is a preposition or an adverb). Sometimes in and to just end up next to each other.
