"zeitgerechte Passage bis zur Zökalfistal"

cecal / caecal fistula
Explanation:
You were right with thinking cecal fistula but probably couldn't find it because in German cecal has more than one translation: zökal, zäkal, Zökum..., Zäkum..., Blinddarm... The link below has Zäkumfistel.

Explanation:

Considering your other question \"descendostomy prior to closure\" ... this is rather the cecostomy than a fistula - IMO.
