What is a skin graft and how does it work?
A skin graft is a type of medical procedure in which skin is transplanted. It can be used to treat very large wounds or extensive burns. It can also be used to treat areas that have been infected and in which some skin has been lost. In addition, some surgeries require the removal of large areas of skin; skin grafts can be used to replace the skin that was removed. A partial-thickness graft involves the removal of just a layer of healthy skin to be placed on the grafting site. Full-thickness grafts involve cutting away an area of skin from a healthy section, to be placed at the graft site. There is a higher risk that this kind of graft will be rejected, but it is less painful and heals more quickly.

Is skin grafting an ambulatory procedure?
Skin grafting is a surgical procedure usually performed in the operation room and done by specialists. It involves the use of special technique, from the dermatome to particular types of sutures. As with most surgical interventions, it requires a close observation of the patient for a period including days to weeks. Different plastic surgery schools recommend specific periods. But the first days are essential for the evolution. New blood vessels are built in the first 36 hours from the intervention. The skin graft must be protected from trauma or significant stretching for 2-3 weeks. Depending on the location of the graft, a dressing may be necessary for 1-2 weeks. Exercise that might stretch or injure the graft should be avoided for 3-4 weeks.Therefore I doubt any surgeon would do this intervention on an ambulatory (checking in and out of the hospital in the same day) basis.
