Is it possible to have minimally invasive surgery for severe stenosis at L1-2 and L 4-5 with spondylolisthesis also?

I would truly appreciate the names of the surgeons.
I am scheduled for mis on l2 l3 l4 l5 with fusion end of March. Nervous but other neurosurgeon said open surgery. The one I’m going with has lots experience with MIS. Hoping all goes well

I had successful 2-level L4-L5 fusion in 2017; and several spinal injections to mitigate the pain before surgery 6 years later. The steroid injections lasted a year or more. sort of like a spinal tap; not too painful. One of our local hospitals has a "Pain Clinic" where they routinely do this stuff...
But with congenital stenosis; the pain returned; did what I think was "MILD" and it is too early, 4 months out, to determine if it helped, or how much...

@maryyg67 Thank you very much!
@maryyg67 I hope your surgery goes well and would love to hear how it went. Do you have spondylolithesis too?
Yes I do as well as severe stenosis
