Mariska Hargitay is back to work!

The star of Law & Order: Special Victims Unitt returned to the set on Monday, two weeks after suffering a collapsed lung, an NBC rep confirms to Usmagazine.com.

Hargitay had been sidelined since Jan. 12 with a pneumothorax -- a partially collapsed lung -- according to Access Hollywood. Filming halted in Hargitay's absence, and the actress, 45, will appear in all episodes.

Chris Meloni told Us that "she's doing great.

"We're back on track," he said Friday at the Sundance Film Festival's premiere of Brief Interviews with Hideous Men, in which he has a supporting role.

Meloni, who co-stars with Hargitay on SVU, says they plan to shoot the current season until May and that she's fine.

"She got a little dinged up," he said. "And everyone just thought, 'better safe than sorry.'"

Hargitay received a Golden Globe nomination for her role as Detective Olivia Benson, but did not attend this year's ceremony.

    I can remember the day her mother was killed and I heard it on the radio. Such a shame and such a beautiful actress. She looks so much like her mom and just as statusque.

    Although she isn't pretty, she is attractive. She wouldn't be the star of a hit TV program if she wasn't a very good actress. I am also glad she is returning to the series.
