Sometimes geometry’s have to be fixed for further processing. So you can use fix geometry
and it will do the job for you without prompting. But I’m wondering, what the tool fix geometry
is really doing.
What kind of geometry errors is it fixing?
As per the OGC Simple Feature Access specification, geometries need to follow the OpenGIS compliance (see the PostGIS docs for quick reference), where (listing only the most prominent predicates)
In order to do so, the internally called GEOS modules will (listing only the most prominent operations)
where noding means breaking apart a linear component at non-consecutive duplicated vertices.
In this context, 'fixing' geometries rather means creating the maximal set of their valid and/or simple parts, and may result in a collection of geometries of different dimensionality.

I think @Vince's idea is what you can try.
From QGIS Documetation:
Attempts to create a valid representation of a given invalid geometry without losing any of the input vertices. Already valid geometries are returned without further intervention. Always outputs multi-geometry layer.
More details you can find in:
P.S. I hope that @Nyall Dawson will answer this question.

It is basically fixing your geometry using the makeValid
method, that is, correcting your geometry without loosing nodes:
similar of the St_MakeValid
of PostGIS:
