t is possible to have an epidural, but not advisable. Today, at least in the US, most cholecystectomies are done via laparoscopy, much quicker and easier. Recovery is much faster.To do laparoscopy, most anesthesiologists prefer general anesthesia, because of the air insufflation into the abdomen to be able to see the organs.

answer is yes theoretically via regional anesthesia though in practice it needs General Anesthesia

Yes you can with spinal or epidural anesthesia. Some surgeons dont accept this method and also short surgery time plus its not a comfortable position for the patient.

yes of course you can do it without gneral anesthesia in the presence of epidural anesthesia with concomitant epidural catheter in the epidural space for postoperative pain control which is of great importance for such type of surgeries, but keep in mind that this choice (epidural anesthesia) is not suitable for the surgery if it is planned to be done laparascopically.
