Firstly, if the stones were detected just as a part of routine check up you don't need to get it operated. The guidelines say that there is no need to get asymptomatic gallstones to get operated
If she is having symptoms suggestive of gall stones then and only then is surgery required
Sadly laparoscopic cholecystectomy cannot be done under local anaesthesia as the pneumoperitoneum causes strain over the lungs which needs general anaesthesia for support
However you can opt for open cholecystectomy which can also be done under spinal epidural anaesthesia
Hope this clears your doubt
