Default 3 incisions? supose to be 2-DLIF or XLIF not sure

There were suppose to be 2 incisions on my left side!. As I'm reading & writing here, it just dawned on me (and I looked it up) that I have 3 incisions instead of 2. This is now startling me and causing me to question this part of my surgery.
Has anyone here, who's had lumbar fusions from the side experienced this???

What if something went wrong and the doctor didn't tell me?

Maybe I'm over reacting? Who wouldn't question this? Why didn't I think about this until now? Am I loosing my mind?
My surgeon told me everything went fine with the surgery when I asked him while I was in the hospital!

Wow, I'm not in a god place right now.

Please share with me your story if this happened to you or anything similar. Also, any advice would be appreciated too.
Thank you in advance.....
